Скачать или смотреть Inside Microsoft OS/2 v1.3, and the setup troubles it gave me!

Under the reign of IBM, OS/2 lost out the operating system war against Windows 95 and NT. But did you know, Microsoft originally teamed-up with IBM on the OS/2 development during the 80s?

Starting from release 2 and 3 onwards, OS/2 became actually a great operating system.
The earlier 1.x though, still being 16-bit architecture, suffered from a few problems, and, well, maybe it was also too early as far as the resource requirements went.
Still, it offered quiet a few interesting concepts, some of which are still in use today.
So maybe it's time for yet another look at Microsoft OS/2?
