Well, yes, all those features have been in OS/2 for a long time, even longer 
than May, 1990.  I've seen many demonstrations of OS/2 2.0 in the last year or
so and they were *very* unstable.  At the Win 3 kick off in May '90, an IBM
rep was there showing 2.0, but it crashed so bad the machine was down for the
rest of the show.

I have been waiting for a long time to throw DOS and Windows out the door, 
and replace them with OS/2 2.0.  During this time I became adamantly 
anti-Microsoft with their intent to seemingly kill OS/2 in the market.  

I sure hope this is finally it.  OS/2 2.0 - the only real os, besides Unix :>
