25 Years of IBM’s OS/2

April 5, 2012

I remember using OS/2 back in the day when I worked at a bookstore.  It was a pretty stable OS and I don’t recall any problems with it. The only problem I recall was an occasional hardware problem.

Although I’m a Windows guy, I have to admit that apparently there were times in the past that Microsoft used heavy-handed tactics in its quest for OS dominance.

OS/2 started out as a joint IBM/Microsoft product.  Overtime however, Windows became mainstream and OS/2 became more of a nerd operating system.
