Infoweek is throwing it....OS/2 will release their new copy of OS/2 in a few
months this will have open-doc support, java, opengl, c-2 security, voice
navigation and dictation...lots of cool networking support..game
graphics-network-sound support...improved performance...OS/2's kernel is also
being rewritten in C...so it can be ported to the PowerPC and other platforms
relaitivly easily...IBM has launched a massive advertising campaign on the
net...wich pretty much tells the truth about win95 -- ...get Windows NT..tried
workstation 4.0 beta and really love it...that's a good product...win95 is a
kludge...Sounds to me like IBM plans on getting rid of os/2.....

I havn't noticed any problems...do know that win95 turns into win3.1 if you
decide to run any 16-bit stuff on it.
