5.0 out of 5 stars First class operating system choice, January 10, 2000

Version 4 is still more stable and reliable than the previous version. Easy install with a nice GUI, this fine OS is Internet-ready and of course, LAN-ready. It talks with MACS, Unixes, Netware and Windows without a problem. If you need Windows 3.x emulation, there is a specific environment for this application, without GPF errors of course. IBM makes periodic releases of collections of fixes (a.k.a Fixpacks) through Internet for free.

Sick of Microsoft's Blue Screen Of Death? Get Warped! Internet apps, Voice Navigation, and Warp is MUCH easier to use than that *other* OS. I would NEVER consider using ANY Microsoft OS again after using OS/2!

5.0 out of 5 stars OS/2 Warp Operating System, May 6, 2002

A stable, smooth running OS. I currently have it installed on an all - SCSI computer I built. The big problem is hardware driver availability. If you want the convenience of a near - monopoly software maker, you might want to look elsewhere. But if you want a better OS, it's probably worth searching for the right parts. And I DO stress SEARCH. Make sure that all of your parts (sound card, video card, modem, etc) have OS/2 drivers available. Once that's done, you'll be in for some pretty crash - resistant computer sessions. You WILL like this OS once you use it.
