- Absolutely -- OS/2 does offer true, preemptive multitasking throughout
- the system. In fact, there's a terrific OS/2 version of SAS already,
- with the 32-bit version slated for release later this year. The SAS
- Institute is apparently recommending that, if at all possible, if you
- wish to run SAS on the PC you should run it under OS/2. (The Windows
- and OS/2 SAS prices are identical.)
