- Welcome back Brian! The fuel you add to this forum was missed over the
- Holidays, it was quiet.
-
- Microsoft's "Chicago" referenced in the first article "Future MS-DOS to fuse
- 32-bit DOS, Windows" sounds a awful lot like Intel's 486SX - damage control!
- The competition (OS/2) is starting to take an unexpected bite out of market
- share, got to do something FAST! Microsoft is beginning to realize NT won't
- capture the desktop because it is to expensive (both price and resources) and
- DOS/Windows 3.x just can't compare to OS/2.
-
- The OS/2 2.1 beta is great!! It runs very nicely on my Victor 386SX/25. The
- only disappointment is higher resolution video and that is mainly a limitation
- of my hardware. Quattro Pro for Windows performs nicely, as well as under
- Windows 3.1.
