do you hate microsoft

Oh, horseshit. OS/2 was far more technologicaly advanced than
the Windows of its day, and is *still* more advanced in many respects
when compared to CURRENT Windows versions.

Pre-emptive multitasking. A system registry. Windows programs
ran in native mode faster than they did on Windows. And in VM'S! TCP,
an object oriented GUI, **drag and drop**, universal video drivers, great
Ghu, why do you think people STILL run OS/2 today?

Ignorance?

That may all well be true, but where are the OS2
developers. The millions of programs that run on OS2?

You're confusing cause and effect. There are no OS/2 programs
because it lost a marketing war. It didn't lose the marketing war because
there aren't "millions" of programs.

Anyway, OS/2 ran Windows programs just fine. Didn't really
need its own.
