According to a recent poll in PC WEEK 67% of business people stated that 
they WILL NOT SWITCH TO OS/2 in their cooperate evironment.

BTW, I don't like OS/2, esp. because I want multiuser and multitasking 
now and not in the ( far ) future. I've been using a multiuser and multi-
tasking OS ( Concurrent DOS from Digital Research, Inc. ) for 3 years (!)
now.

There has been a thread on Concurrent DOS recently in comp.sys.ibm.pc 
( last 3 weeks, look for subject "Concurrent DOS" ).
