Operating System/2 (OS/2)

OS/2 is probably the best PC Operating System made so far in my opinion. It runs DOS, Windows (16 bit w/ a 32 bit converter possibly in the future due to the Win32-OS/2 Project), native OS/2, and Java programs in their own protected space making the system nearly crash proof.

The OS is a bit dated when it comes to the software department. IBM and Netscape recently released Netscape 4.02 for OS/2 Warp 4. There is also a new version of Lotus Smartsuite for OS/2 Warp 4. Finding hardware is easy if your computer is more than a year of two old. Finding new hardware drivers (especially video and network cards) it is nearly impossible.
