i'm guessing that OS/2 does not run current windows programs (something developed for say XP) as well as it does the older stuff. but, then again, XP is based on NT, and NT is based on the same exact code as OS/2 (or that's what my dad told me).

i was just thinking of something else rather interesting. my dad used to work for IBM, so he has many friends that work(ed) for IBM. about 8 or 9 years ago, i moved to LI, and everyone else moved (from the Kingston, NY area, where IBM shut down a building). so, when we have old friends over, they all talk about how they were quite literally outside the door when the executives at IBM decided not to buy out Gates, cause it would be bad business practices. it's quite interesting to think what would have happened if someone who was smart ran through the door yelling "BUY OUT GATES!!" . i'd love to know how things would have turned out without microsoft coming and super marketing his horribly unstable version of OS/2 .
