Yeah, but none of us "normal" people have access to NT beta's, so NT
means absolutely nothing to me.  Of course, by the time NT is released,
OS/2 should have a 32-bit graphics engine, 3.1 support, and maybe, if
we're lucky, 32-bit HPFS (go ahead and flame me because NT already has a
32-bt file system).
IBM's supposed to release a performance analyzer which will increase
system performance by 50 to 150%  So performance will be great.  BTW, my
computer(386/40, 8 megs) doesn't take seconds to open a pull down menu
or something like that.  My system runs fine in 1024x768-256.  Sure, if
I didn't have a Trident video card, I'd shave seconds off my system, but
that has nothing to do with OS/2.
