To Warp or Not to Warp?by Scott MacDonald I'm sure by now you've heard about Win'95.You've seen the hype, commercials, and the posts on the Usenet.Your friends might even have it installed on their machines.You've also probably heard of the challenger to Microsoft's operating system, IBM OS/2 Warp.It has quietly entered the scene with humorous commercials, and a firm base of support in part of the Usenet.But is it right for you?This article will hopefully help you with decision as the time to upgrade comes around.This article is not meant as a comparison between Win'95 and OS/2 Warp, if you want that simply post a note on comp.os.os2.advocacy asking for one.You will have over 50 responses by the end of the day.Very biased responses, but responses none the less.The purpose of this review is to give an informative (yet obviously opinionated) look at what OS/2 Warp is all about.
