My own thought was that he'd better off installing OS/2 or Linux
I've been hung up on thoughts of OS/2 lately. I loved it when I had it
and now have a couple spare PCs that could make decent systems for it,
so I might load up a copy I have still.
But what I've been pondering is the thought of IBM getting active with
it again. Maybe the time is becoming right to bring focus back to it. It
is still for sale from IBM AFAIK. It was the last time I looked.
Not positioned quite like they did back then; in a somewhat different way.
OS/2 might make a superb environment for a solid JVM and various
packages such as OpenOffice. Position it as an alternative host OS for
open-source packages, a secure alternative for Internet applications.
I'm perfectly happy with OpenOffice at home. I use Netscape instead of
IE. The more I think about it, I'm no longer sure why I'm using Win2K
right now except it seemed to make sense at the time. Even today, I know
more about how OS/2 'worked' than I do Win2K. But then, OS/2 made some
sense to me.
