Oh, yes. Please. With HPFS for long file names.
Think of all the companies that are fighting the Mac vs Win95 wars!
Many Mac shops will convert to OS/2.
License Executor (or ARDI should work with IBM to make an add-on) and
allow "seamless Mac-OS/2" launching. IBM already has a license to
MacOS, so it could even run the finder.
Way cool.
Let me see, I will should be able to run an OS/2 native Netscape,
a seamless Windows Netscape, a seamless Mac Netscape, a seamless
X Netscape (off an Unix host); and of course WebEx; yep, that will
do me fine.
I know, I am babbling, but the concept is so exciting!
