OS/2 is 7 years older than OSX 10.0. Compare OS/2 Warp to Mac System 7.

@jasonscottpage Sorry. OS/2 was great on networks and especially if you had mainframe or the IBM imaging system (mainframe based) and had all kinds of sollutions and token ring networking which was 16mbps at a time when ethernet was 10 mbps. But it was just so friggin slow and had very little native software so you were stuck with windows anyway.

@TheGeek1028 Feel free to retract your comment.

@TheGeek1028 OS/2 had the feeling of security, stability, predictability with minimalism and power I could not find on any other platform except Amiga OS, BeOS and NeXTStep. I suspect also Sun although I have not used that platform.

Giving it away to a poor journalist this Sat.

@dontwalkhand I was excited! Too much coffee and little meditation does that.

@evilspam I agree. Demand seems regionally restricted, non-existent in the US.

@felpa99 Been using OS/2 since 1995. Using OS/X now, since this first. OS/2 today is now a novelty of what could have been, if only IBM properly marketed the product to the consumer. IBM was gun-hole to limit their market to corporations and government and missed the bandwagon of the household demand for the computer and internet. Apple had the consumer in mind since the very beginning Apple I.



Oh my god. You don't know how to open a box? That part you were cutting, all you had to do was take two fingers underneath that flap, and than push upwards, it was really that easy, my god!

@cokeacola66 OS Classic very different from OS/X. OS/2 and OS/X development embodied and expressed an art for the engineering and simplicity of the platforms. OS/2 was the answer for the PC to the 1984 Mac Classic. Ironically Microsoft initially seeded the development, disagreement between IBM and Microsoft where to market a nitch lead to their disbandment and the split, soon as competitors as demonstrated in the NT/OS/2 Texas shootout of 1992.
