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.
In my opion there is mistake! The workplace shell has been updgraded by IBM ever since version 1.0 and in version 3.0 of OS/2 and 4.0 new features where also added (not just new icons....)
And yes its something people should not underestimate the nice binary os2krnl.... (the kernel of eCS/ OS/2)
Its a very good kernel even!
