I actually remember a few people using OS/2 because it felt easier integrating some Win 3.1 programs. And Warp generally being a better system than 95.
Although personally they both crashed on me a lot back then, which is why I bought one of these new-fangled "Linux" distributions back then.
- squarefoot 9y agoI used OS/2 2.1 and 3 Warp extensively back in the day to develop DOS db software in Clipper. Turned out that two or more DOS windows opened on OS/2's desktop could perfectly emulate a DOS client-server situation with two or more machines on a LAN, speeding up development a lot. Attempting the same on Windows would not work, or was very crash prone.
