I never tried 2.0 but loved 2.1. It was nightmare to install - for some
reason the installer used a refresh rate that was too high for my monitor,
causing it to go out of sync shortly after displaying the logo. For the
life of me I can't remember how I resolved that, but once OS/2 was
installed it was sweet. Presentation Manager was great and I had a full set
of ported GNU tools installed too.

When Windows 95 came out (I also had a few of the late betas) I started
using that, primarily because OS/2 would never get 32-bit Windows support.
I slowly stopped using OS/2 and eventually switched to using a combination
of Windows and Linux (I had dual booted OS/2 and Linux for a while already,
since late 1994).

Cheers, MJ
