I concede price to that, but not as an OS may people would choose. Plain fact
is those that have tried OS/2 dumped it and went back to Win3.x or simply to
NT as it matured and yes there are still a good chunk of OS/2 users out there
but i don't see it as a growing user base. NT, while it had a rocky starty
finally is a decent OS, but for the typical home user can be alittle too
much. As I see it, OS/2 and NT provide business users what they needed first
and Win95 is growing into that simply because of the large user base. OS/2
does a good job but it isn't that openly accepted by the shareware support
world. I see little shareware compared to Win95 and basically that says alot
of what any OS is being accepted. I'm not happy with Win95 myself but like I
mentioned( I think I did), see it becoming the std. OS of many future users
regardless of "why". I go to some computer shows around here I don't see
hardly any OS/2 related s/w as well very little NT.
Anyways, I believe my orginal thread was about Win95 pricing and i don't want
to get into an OS pissing contest, so I'll leave it there. -_-_-Bill
