Pegasos II G4 1GHz benchmarks! : Comment 219 of 356 | ANN.lu |
Posted by hammer on 13-Jan-2004 01:23 GMT | In reply to Comment 213 (JoannaK): I can give you the directory listing of the OS/2's structure if you want (IF I have the time and after re-install on VMWARE). Please recall the IBM's marketing of OS/2 during 32bit migration phase (e.g. "DOS better than DOS").
IBM has directly targeted MS Windows 3.1 users during 32bit OS migration phase. OS/2 is quite an impressive OS for the X86 HW platform during that time period (Fundamentally, Windows 95 is just a toy OS repackage with a 'massive' Win32s addon i.e. its heart is still 16bit). Odin add-on (brings Win32 compatibility) is 'nice' but MS shifts the API goal post every year (i.e. must have DirectX compatibility). There are some down side of OS/2’s DOS and Win16 compatibilities (Not a problem since I setup multiOS X86 PCs).
Linux/WINE/WINE-X(e.g. Lindows 4.0) covers the direct Windows clones atm.
PS; I still have the original IBM Model 56 user manual and its OS/2 manual(sold that PC many years ago; along with the IBM PS/2 Model 55SX (my first over clocked machine)). Also, IBM's OS/2 Warp 4.x has been included in some Australian PC Magazine Cover CDs (for that I'm happy for the free upgrade). I killed all my OS/2 Warp 4 setups at the arrival of Win2K. |
