The OS/2 2.0 fiasco is a lot more complex than this.



Yes, but being able to run Windows 3.1 apps on it, with Windows 3.1 look and feel, at a higher price than OS/2 (or Windows) alone sure didn't help it.


You know that MS did the old OS/2 2.0 SDK betas from 1990, right?


as far as i remember: the PC of the day was just too slow for OS/2 warp, and it didn't support the varied hardware of the day; am i wrong?


Yes, there is much more history to this fiasco than just this.
