Considering microsoft tortured Lindows and forced them to change a name that only a pinhead would confuse with a piece of junk like windows, you would think they would have investigated the name first.
There is already a virtual operating system product called SVISTA. http://www.serenityvirtual.com/index.php Gee just one letter difference. Maybe its worth a few hundred million dollars to the company that has been using that name for a couple years now.
Maybe people should chip in to a legal fund so Serenity Systems can sue Microsoft? Truly would be poetic justice.
Don't know about win2k or xp, but the SMP under NT sucked dead rocks. NT itself tied up one processor. Dual CPUs gave maybe a 20% advantage over a single CPU under NT, while under OS/2 I saw 50-90% increase depending on the task.
OS/2 has always run rings around the bloatware from Redmond. One of the best things open sourcing OS/2 would do would be to give improved thread support for Linux.
OS/2 Warp 3 has been out of support for years. How can you make an intelligent opinion on having used a product 5 or more years ago?
When the eComStation demo CD's come out, pop one in and see if you still think the same way.
