According to survey (I think it was Infoworld), DOS may fade away in the future,
but OS/2 is probably going to be the next dominate operating system in business.
Unix will probably be second.  I suppose Unix will always be #1 in the
scientific community.

I personally like Unix better, but right now OS/2 has a standard interface,
while AT&T and OSF is still arguing over graphics interface standard.  The
present OS/2 (1.1) is junk, though 2.0 promises to be better.  In any case, OS/2
may surpass Unix, but it's hard to tell at the moment, but corporation seems to
have a preference for OS/2 over Unix.
