OS/2 Warp was out as I purchased my 386, and I picked up a copy, and I really wanted that to work, but it was already clear that IBM was playing catch-up with Windows because Warp was marketed based on how well it could run Windows stuff.
- b06timmer 4y agoI thought OS/2 Warp was really neat. I worked IT at Bloomingdale's and at the time they were a strictly IBM house. They used IBM computers running OS/2 Warp in their Bridal Registry kiosks. Since this was a kiosk they had touchscreens and they worked very well and had a "sparkle" in the screen, as the early touchscreen CRT's did. If you lost power, or shut them down incorrectly you would get a bunch of DLL errors and have to re-image the PC. This was the late '90s and early 2000's.
- postexitus 4y agore-image? did that exist then?
