  1. Re:Getting OS/2 on IBM's OS/2 Strategy for 2003 · · Score: 1


    Why use OS/2?

    In the interests of demonstrating how windows wastes hardware.

    If you can wean yourself off windows and have a need to work and not really play...

    There is a screen shot at http://www.martinic.org

    All on a P3 1G with 512MB but it runs almost equally as well on 128-256MB. The
    virtual memory management

    The Machine wasn't even beginning to sweat on;

    Burning a CD at 12X,
    Scanning simultaneously,
    Watching TV,
    Watching an MPEG (it's black because the capture didn't account for the video
    interlacing.
    Running a fax machine
    Running FTP and other server processes
    Running a firewall and cable-modem services
    PMMail
    a half-dozen desktop management tools
    Web browsing
    Windows 98 in a Virtual Machine BOX (also does linux in a box)
    Photo album software (which took the snapshot)
    plus others..

    Around 33 processes.
