- Hmm, I would just take your marvelous windoze document, add in the dos apps that
- run like shit under windows, and then add in the OS/2 apps. That would give a
- nice summary of things that run under OS/2. Although the NT bigots seem
- to be hung up on native apps, I don't care. My windows apps run better than
- they did under windows, I run DOS apps that never ran under windows, and I run
- a bunch of OS/2 apps that sure don't run under windows. MS seems plenty willing
- to brag about DOS support under NT, so why can't I count Win support under OS/2.
-
- The "typical users" that I know have never cared too much about how the job
- gets implemented, as long it gets done.
-
- BTW, isn't "_real_ WIN apps" a contradiction in terms.
