I *loved* OS/2 for being able to run old Windows 3.1 apps and run virtual 
dos machines with real DOS. I ran OS/2 on my desktop, ran the BBS under DOS, 
and used LANTastic, an old peer-to-peer network, between the BBS and a DOS 
window using MS-DOS (since LANTastic didn't make an OS/2 version...)

It wasn't a better Windows than Windows, but it was a much better DOS than 
DOS.
