Here in comp.unix.solaris,
groenvel@cse.psu.edu (John D Groenveld) spake unto us, saying:
>Win-OS/2 became an excuse for ISVs to not provide native OS/2 ports.
In the long run, WinOS2 may have hurt native OS/2 software development,
but it also added a lot of valuable applications to the mix that would
run on an OS/2 desktop. It was a trade-off.
I still use programs like Visio, Quicken 98, and AOLPress under OS/2
today. Without such software, I'd probably be using Linux or FreeBSD
instead. Maybe even Solaris/x86 (which I've looked at several times).
