>>The first release of OS/2 cost about triple what DOS did, had significantly higher system requirements, and needed specific software to enable the new functionality... which did not initially include a GUI. My first job at Novell in 1988 was testing their OS/2 driver. In order to get OS/2 up and running, they had to buy a 4MB memory expansion card for my 386 box. IIRC it cost about $2000 at the time.
