    All the neat shit that people claim for the latest hottest Intel OSs
    -- the stuff in your quote there -- is stuff that has always been
    pretty much standard in the Motorola and Risc worlds.


    sure, whatever... but OS/2 is THE BEST Operating System in the world, and
    can run circles around anything else, and it looks nicer, and will cook
    your breakfast for you, and make your coffee, and has 3D-bordered
    icons, and is nifty, and looks cool, and is True-Blue, and can run DOS
    better than DOS, and will take out the garbage, and will get you chicks,
    and has got a 438 Hemi duo-blaster twin quad super injection turbo
    ramjet ultra thingy that makes it go real fast, and it can juggle, and
    it knows when you've been bad or good, so be good for goodness sake, and
    it will end world hunger, and it has fine Corinthian leather, and it
    never makes you say you're sorry, and it always uses a condom, and it
    likes the kinds of pizza and ice cream that you like, and it plays
    bitchin' guitar, and it manages files like there's no tomorrow, and its object-oriented multi-media neural-net shipping next quarter, and it is bullit-proof like 20 layers of #4 Kevlar body armor, and it is so multi-threaded that it weaves a heavy wool blanket while its idleing,
    and my momma told me when I was just a lad that it was the best, and it
    has a heavy manual, and it uses less characters in its name than other
    OS's, and its recomended by four out of five dentists, and it can kick Superman's ass, and it's meaner than the junkyard dog, and its the
    choice of the next generation, and it will let you so many things at the
    same time that your head will spin, and it can dance, and ... oh never
    mind... it sucks...

    I'd love to find a copy of Presentation Manager for Windows - rumor had it they were working on a version around the OS/2 2.x era.
