And vice versa, I'm sure.  I don't think OS/2's capabilities are a
superset of unix's.

But is unproven.  Unix has the benefit of over 15 years of learning
and research as well as debugging and enhancing.  It's been the
subject of intense scrutiny at the source code level.

OS/2, on the other hand, is untried and unproven.  It is a proprietary
operating system for one class of microprocessor.  Its source code is
not, and probably never will be, available.
