Re: OT: Windows is too expensive
What happened to OS/2? A long time ago when I was in university, some of my friends used OS/2 instead of Windows and thought it was great. It looked pretty good but I never used it. Then gradually I stopped hearing much about it and it somehow disappeared.

Re: OT: Windows is too expensive
According to this history, OS/2 forked in 1990, and the branch that Microsoft controlled eventually became Windows NT. That page says the other branch had a new release coming in 1999.
