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.

So anywho.. after flipping to the second page of comments to see what i had missed comment wise from yesterday, i'm greeted by an idiot. Awesome.
At any rate, i rather liked the article, even if it did have some small errors, it wasn't anything that was in the scope of the actual review which is what i was interested in. I must admit though, esc has really killed os/2's UI. It looks kinda cheezy now with all the beveled buttons and random use of gradients. I hope that stuff is somewhat configurable. And whats with removing the OS/2 logo from WPS? At least they could use something professional looking.
I know i know.. who cares about the UI. I do that kinda stuff at work so its my job to care.. screw functionality. ;>
