- I realize that this post may very well start a flame war or, worse
- yet a thread that will have little or anything to do with the answer to this
- question but, hey! this is Usenet!.... So here it goes: I got a 486DX33 and I
- want an OS that makes some real use of the monster under the hood and has
- nothing to do with a command line :)).... I really like OS/2 as a concept and
- 'feel' and I prefer Windows's look, but before I go out and spend around $300
- in mem expansion (I got a sorry 4MB) and OS/2, I need some input on this
- so-talked-about Win NT... How much more of an OS is NT compared to 3.1 and OS2?
- Does it multitasking feel like 3.1 or OS2? How well does it perform? Most
- importantly, what are its hardware requirements? (one of the reasons I am
- having cold feet about OS2 is the magnificent 15MB for minimum installation NOT
- counting the swap files...) When is NT expected approx? So many OSs, just one
- PC.... Thanx everybody in advance....
