Check out Stardock's home page, Indelible Blue, etc.  If what you want
to run requires Windows, then do so.  If someone wants to use OS/2,
don't slam it because it didn't meet your needs.  It very well may fit
his/her needs better.

And if Microsoft pays more attention to substance than style such as
really making the workplace of Windows object oriented like OS/2 instead
of only appearing so, then let me know, okay?
I was going to write more, but this is the GEOWORKS echo after all.  I
was feeling quite ill when I first responded.  The fever is gone, and I
realize I should have written you originally via netmail to request you
not slam OS/2 in public in this forum, but save it for the OS Debates
echoes where it belongs.  I would like to ask you to enter a truce with
me.  I won't attack Windows 95 if you won't attack OS/2.  If we can't
agree, then at least let us be at peace with one another.  That way, we
can both be here to support people who want to run Geoworks Ensemble or
New Deal Office, and not have these running battles.
If you and other Windows fans will help with GWE/NDO and Windows
questions, and let me and other OS/2 fans help with GWE/NDO and OS/2
questions, then the whole echo will be the better for it.  Can we at
least agree on this?
Sincerely (offering olive branch),
Stephen
