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.

I just imagined that this is what BeOS will go through -
a few years on forgotten partitions, with shrinking developer base and then
the owner company finally license it out. New company will pick it up, update and release and it will be reviewed as 'Aged OS'.
Whatever people here say good about Win2K/XP/NT will only demonstrate their limited experience with M$ products. 'Never crashed' is NOT a good feature of the OS. It's not a feature at all.
