Wow OS/2 Warp LOL you taking it back there I see.
When I use to repair and troubleshoot mailroom automation and scanning products, I encounter OS/2 Warp, Windows NT 4.0, Windows XP, and Windows 3.11.

Telecommunication companies and government agencies rarely upgraded their operating systems. It still worked solid.

The Federal Reserve bank was still using Window 3.11 back in 2006 when I was working their. I hated working on those machines, because it brought me back to 1991 when I was playing Police Quest DOS games.

Well, OS/2 introduced me to dual booting,plus it was quite fast!

Stable like rock.

In fact it was so damned good, Bill Gates built the first NT OS off of it.

IBM also turned down Bill Gates when he introduced Windows to them.

I have the following systems:

Win-7

Win Xp

Win 2000

Win ME

Win 98 SE

Knoppix-6

E-Comm station (OS/2)

I multiboot.

It depends on how I feel when I sit down in front of the screen. WIN-7 works with no lag, but XP was the only one that seemed to access a bit slow.

I wondering what benefit will it be to use Win-8

Hell, I forgot I still have win 3.11 running under a virtual screen.

Years ago OS/2-Warp-4 was my favorite OS.
Out of curiosity, why do you have so many OPS's for one computer? Or do you have several computers each with different OPS's? Kinda strange, especially the old ones.

I never played Police Quest but I use to mess with Monkey Island quite a bit.

I just like playing around, seeing what the capability of each OS is.
Like I said, although I'm considered a "Senior Citizen" that doesn't keep me from experimenting!

Each system offers something different. I've also played around with BeOS, and PLan-9 in the past.

You're never too old to learn.
