Porting to OS/2 (1987)
Sure, but their mainstream OS didn’t support the bulk of the 80386’s capabilities until
late 1995
.
That’s kind of insane if you think about it.

True, though Windows 95 kinda ran like crap on the 386. We were well into the Pentium era by then.

Not just kinda, it was close to unusable without a 486.

Hah. I was being generous! My 386 box was collecting dust by that point. I did hear horror stories about people attempting to upgrade their 386 with 4 megs just to hit the "minimum" Win95 requirements and having their machines swap to death.
