Shadow's were pretty cool. It was a pointer to an original object (since the GUI was object oriented). If you deleted the original item, all the shadow's disappeared also. Microsoft implemented "Shortcuts", but those were files that pointed to another file, so deleting the original file just left around broken shortcuts. You could also use the Font panel to drop fonts into any application and it would change the UI font. Some apps actually saved that as a preference and remembered it on next startup but others didn't. I got eComStation running in a VM a while back and I realized that my nostalgia for OS/2 didn't quite match the reality.
