   I think DV wa great, but you're right you had to allocate exactly whatever   
   resources it could use up front; there was no sharing between.  But even so, it   
   was better than Windows at the time and it worked amazingly well if you had the   
   resources to give each process!   
      
   OS/2 was by far better than either of them like you guys say, but the issue   
   there was hardware and drivers with incompatibility issues...   
      
   There was so much generic PC hardware that running OS/2 then was like building   
   a Hackintosh now, you have to build the hardware specifically for the operating   
   system...   
      
   I bought WARP and never got it to work on any hardware I ever owned, from my   
   486/66 to a friends 486/50 to my P2/300.  I spend hours and hours talking with   
   IBM support trying to get it to work, and it just never even installed   
   correctly.   
      
   Oddly enough I've still struggled with it with VMware and Virutal Box too,   
   getting eCS to work with a USB drive, or even with networking, so that I   
   could port Mystic to it.   
      
   Maybe its just OS/2 that hates me! :)
