While some features of OS/2 were incorporated into NT, such as LAN manager, NT was not a descendent of OS/2. Until NT4 (I think it was), NT was able to run OS2 PM1.1 applications as NT shipped with the OS2 libraries.
Yes, there were a number of OS/2 features that we used by NT. I have no issue with that, but the OS itself was designed from the ground up and was not a descendant of OS/2. When Microsoft and IBM split up Windows was really putting its resources into Windows, not OS/2. I'm not sure if HPFS became NTFS.
While they shared the same partition type number, HPFS & NTFS are quite different. Fragmenting was never an issue on HPFS.
However, OS/2 was a pretty decent OS.
Quite so. I used it for many years, in addition to providing 3rd level support for it at IBM. I've not seen anything that compares with the WPS desktop. -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
