When I finally got a computer powerful enough to run OS/2 2.0, I felt like I was In The Future. I was able to run my BBS and FidoNet mailer 24/7 *AND* still play X-Wing at the same time (while watching The X-Files and Star Trek: The Next Generation), with no perceptible loss in performance. True preemptive multitasking seemed like a miracle compared to the timeslicing I was accustomed to with Desqview.

IBM failed spectacularly. Windows 95 was technically inferior to OS/2 in every possible way, but Big Blue had a bunch of drunken capuchin monkeys for a marketing force.
