Re: Bring compatibility problems to Window, not the other way around

OS/2 usually ran windows app faster and better than windows did.

It was because it required better hardware to run well, plus it didn't get a massive amount of development for it because why develop for OS/2 natively when you can just write for windows and both OSs can run it.

I remember running warp on my 486dx2 66 (16MB RAM)I believe it was (might have been the 386sx 25 (4MB RAM)) could run videos smoothly with multiple applications running on OS/2, whereas the same video could barely run on Win 3.1 on the same machine with nothing else running.
