Was OS/2 bad? :-|
- jessaustin 10y agoEverybody I knew who used it said it was better than Windows, but that's sort of a self-selecting crowd. More to the point, OS/2 wasn't a M$ product, so that sort of success for it would have been bad for M$.
- yuhong 10y agoIt was a MS product (even the early OS/2 2.0 SDKs from the 1990 period). The entire OS/2 2.0 fiasco is one of my favorite topics, partly because of how horrible and unethical it was.
- woliveirajr 10y agoCould you point some reading about it?
- yuhong 10y agoOne of my favorite readings is http://www.groklaw.net/pdf/iowa/www.iowaconsumercase.org/011607/0000/PX00307.pdf http://www.groklaw.net/pdf/iowa/www.iowaconsumercase.org/011.... Notice that they did not mention the problems with the "32-bit Windows extenders" for example. On the later attacks, look up "Microsoft Munchkins" and "Steve Barkto" for one example of them.
