Are your talking about the ibm version? I liked it and it was great for work because it could really multitask. I had a pretty good system though so no really long boots. my issue was that it couldn't handle any gaming, so back to dos for me as well. crazy that it's been all these years with windows, some good some bad, and now windows is shooting itself in the foot just as Linux is becoming a system that can finally handle anything.

I ran wing commander2 in os/2. It wasn't quite as fast as in dos (or was it for Windows already?) but it was quite playable.

That was on a 486dx50 btw.
