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 response to 'unlike Windows, OS/2 supports multiple associations for any data files'...
Windows does too. It's a little more difficult to set yourself, but it can be done. Start right-clicking, and you can find yourself with a bunch of options.
For example, when I right-click at the machine I am on, over an html file, there is the option for 'open with', that has a sub menu that lists:
K-meleon
Internet Explorer
Opera
Notepad
EditPad
Excel
Word
----------
Choose program...
