[Arguments of Unix vs. OS/2 deleted.]

Guys, the big thing that Unix has that I like, that is missing from
OS/2, is that it's multi*user* (and not just multi*tasking*)!

OS/2 is missing the whole multiple user concept, what with
directories, security, etc.  This, to me, is why one might call
OS/2 a "baby" operating system.  (Macintosh has the same shortcoming.)

So: please realize that you are comparing apples and oranges.  I
like them both.
