IBM's OS/2 has a great history as a workstation operating system, it was a major alternative OS in the '90s. At its peak time in the mid-'90s OS/2 had about 2 million users but the Windows NT and Windows 95 releases broke its further development. This year Serenity Systems has released a new client version of OS/2. This article will introduce you to what OS/2 is all about. You will learn its history, its user interface, and its power under the hood. The article is also accompanied by a number of screenshots.

At its height, OS/2 Warp 3 was topping the Ziff-Davis sales charts with over 1 million retail sales/month! My own guess (based on cloudy memories) would be in the 12-15 million range in 1995-1996.
Not a bad article overall. I've been using eComStation for the past week or so, and it's been quite comfortable for an old OS/2 user like myself. :-)
