 > DESQview is what drove me to OS/2. :)

Meaning it was good or bad? :)

For a while there I had a copy of a "hacked" OS/2 Warp where it was just the
CLI. It was 3 disks to install, and basically just DOS without the 640k
barrier. I ran DESQview in that. It ran really well, but the only downfall was
that a lot of demos and other programs would actually check for emm386 and
would only run if it was there. Well, you didn't need emm386, and you couldn't
run it, so you couldn't watch that demo! That made me go back to DOS :/.

Wish I could find that CLI-only OS/2 Warp again, though.
