I don't think MS particularly cares. Getting the corporate world to move away from XP is much more important to them as it is going out of support, and even MS admits finishing the move to Win7 is much more important.
MS OS/2 actually was released in the 1.x version. Look up the Joint Development Agreement. The only reasonable implementation of Win32 prior to Win95 was WinNT, which was targeted at workstations.
Yes, but DOS and Win9x was single user too. Win9x had built-in networking, but that would have been trivial to bundle with OS/2, and I think Warp 4 does so.

Activation requires an Internet connection or the telephone method, unless it is the volume licensing version.
Yea, I still remember what Adobe had to do when the activation server for CS2 was taken down.
Good point. Ultimately MS will decide what to do, but I have been thinking about limiting the Start menu to Pro and Server editions for a while now.

In fact, the latter was faster than a Pentium 75MHz for anything that didn't require the FPU.
Which is where the P75 part of the Am5x86-P75 name came from.
Yea, what they actually did was to patent what is now the FSB with the Pentium Pro.
I have a blog article about the MS OS/2 2.0 fiasco: http://yuhongbao.blogspot.ca/2012/12/about-ms-os2-20-fiasco-px00307-and-dr.html
Personally my favorite topic is the MS OS/2 2.0 fiasco that is about the 386, which is much much worse: http://yuhongbao.blogspot.ca/2012/12/about-ms-os2-20-fiasco-px00307-and-dr.html
Well, I don't think real names imposed by one service are a real threat to the open web anyway.
At best I consider this a workaround, not a fix. I have considered legacy PR obsolete for a while now. Reminds me of this too: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4717449

Nowadays. They only separated IE's UI from Explorer's with IE7.
Ah, it is unfortunate Netscape "Mariner" was cancelled.
AFAIK MS OS/2 was not sold as a packaged product until 1.3, but they did license it to OEMs.

Retail is basically sticking around to service customers, and they aren't killing it completely, they are just requiring manager approval.

I am not for a real name policy, but I do want the problems with using real names to be solved if possible.
I know, but as I said in the blog article the DOS and Windows 32-bit extenders used to do this was very limited compared to a full 32-bit OS.
Personally my favorite topic is the MS OS/2 2.0 fiasco, about why did it took *10 years* after Intel introduced the 386 before 32-bit programming became popular:

And never saw any evidence this claim is actually true.
I mean, I never heard that claim before.
Yep, this update is out of band which is probably why.
IBM crippled it so it wouldn't compete with their Unix/AS400 midrange options.
Deliberately?
