Various communication links are my daily business - and Os/2 ist still the strongest platform to do this! TCP/IP, routing for 6 subnets with one adpter, sna, appc - it does it all. Viruses? Worms? I have never seen an OS/2 virus. Duble click on "I love You"? No problem, it will result in "DOS Error 23".
Recently i showed to a customer (who believed, that CPU clock is so importatnt) a revitalised, 8 years old notebook (486 CPU at 33 MHz, 20 MB of RAM, 810 MB IDE Disk). I installed Warp 4 an shared the Disk. A second machine (Duron 800 MHz, 512 MB, fastest ATA 100 Disk was driven by Win2000 server. The Result of the mini-Benchmark with loading large Files (100 MB): the new supersystem was not about 10 times as fast, but less than double speed!
So OS/2 is still very powerfull, needs less CPU power und much less memory than WinXXXX.
Greetings, Fritz
