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.

Did I ever spoke about the internals of OS/2 being aged?? Why always among my readers are some dumb ones? >:(
I spoke about the GUI, which is ugly as hell (not too mention that it lacks modern features, like double-buffering and free-form windows). The Gui looks like Windows 3.1 on steroids or at best, like a bad Windows95. End of story. Needs fixing. Needs beautifying. Needs a real artist to work on it. <P> >Besides installation went like a breeze <P> Funny, because I got two emails from people who had the same probs as me. And yes, they were OS/2 old timers.
