Never thought I'd see so much active development for a dead (and obscure) OS.

Given that "pre-Warp" would've put you sometime before the release of Windows 95, "more powerful and stable than Windows" would've been a rather low bar!

Haha, true. Although I remember that when I "upgraded" to Win95, it still felt like a downgrade coming from OS/2.
What finally tipped me over back into Windos was the lack of native games and the headaches trying to get DOS/Windows games working with OS/2.

Anyone else remember the OS/2 Warp TV ads?
I guess it falls into the category of "what you run if desktop BSD isn't obscure enough for you".
