What OS do you use?

eComstation. It is based on OS/2, and is quite fast an quite useful. It is very similar to Windows--similar interface: taskbar, "start" menu, desktop, buttons on Windows, file organisation, similar filesystems, drive letters, command line that's very similar to Windows as well. I love it.

Well, yes, IBM and Microsoft jointly. But they had a sort of falling out with each other, and IBM developed it exclusively for awhile. Now it is owned by a completely different company.

Just think, if IBM had never worked with microsoft, microsoft would have failed. And then the dominant OS wouldn't be so crap.
