IBM's OS/2 NAMED TOP PC OPERATING SYSTEM
November 22, 1993
LAS VEGAS, Nov. 17... Industry acceptance continues to build
for IBM's advanced 32-bit operating system, OS/2*. For the second
consecutive year at COMDEX, OS/2 was awarded PC/Computing's
prestigious Most Valuable Product award in the Systems Software
category. OS/2 2.1 was chosen over Windows NT** 3.1 and Novell
DOS*** 7.0 for the honor.
The publication's December cover story recommended readers
try OS/2 2.1 and not "sit around waiting for the next generation
operating system. It's here now, and it works great...It is, in
short, everything you'd want an operating system to be."
"These awards aren't easy to win, and it's particularly
pleasing because the team in our Boca Raton lab produced a great
product in OS/2 2.0 and won this award last year, said Lee
Reiswig, president for IBM's Personal Software Products. "Now
they've produced an even greater product in OS/2 2.1 and won
again this year against more competition. Congratulations are in
order for all of the talented folks at IBM who made OS/2 2.1 MVP
1993."
The award was presented during a spectacular ceremony held
at Caesar's Palace on the eve of COMDEX. Paul Somerson,
PC/Computing editor-in-chief, said "We look for technological
innovation and ease-of-use above all else. Products must not
only be the best in their category but also address a wide
variety of customer needs," he said. "OS/2 has the most
attractive user interface available on the PC and it's a true
32-bit, multithreaded operating system."
