eComStation 1.1 Entry Edition Review

Posted by timothy on from the what-a-name dept.

Gentu writes "OSNews reviews the latest incarnation of the legendary OS/2, eComStation 1.1 Entry Edition. The product was released less than a month ago, after a 1.5 years gap of the original 1.0 eCS version. The Serenity Systems guy seems to have overhaul the installation procedure, but not always with the best results."

    So you want to buy a new implementation of a dead OS?

    Apple seems to be doing okay on that business model. Unless all that stuff I read about on slashdot about BSD being dead wasn't true.

    /me is completely shocked.

    Makes it sound like a niche OS. Come on, doesn't eComStation imply that's only good for one thing? This alone will help make it hard for OS/2 to make a comeback of any kind.

    If I really wanted that experience I could always run winfile on Win98. Ick.
