I used OS/2 Warp Connect for a while.  I don't recall if that was v4 or not...
but it was very nice.  I think I still have a copy around.  IT really did run
Win3.11 apps better than windoze.

I remember seeing a demo of the next OS/2 after that (I was no longer in the
group using it though), and despite an incredible load of bloated apps with
not a lot of memory, the machine was not only useable, but responsive.  I
was floored.
