Yes! Finally it is time to release the source code to this ancient wonder. WfW was truly a Wonder for the Ages as in it was a Wonder that it ran at all and it took ages to do any thing. 

Of course I realize I will have to update my box as I don't think it will run a newer OS. Perhaps a doubling of the RAM to 16 MB would be a start. Oh, yes and maybe one of those clock doubler thingies that people were talking about. I don't think I can ever fill the HDD though as 1200 MB ought to be enough for anyone.

Although DEEP Into Virtual Karona Clamp, I noticed Microsofts next O/S Mentioned for Display on 28July at: Microsoft parrellel developemnt conf.

Microsoft’s next-generation operating-system, codenamed”Midori” just might be the many-core operating system that is part of the Tahiti charter. And I wouldn’t be surprised if “RedHawk,” the new managed-code execution environment under development at Microsoft, somehow fits into the Tahiti picture, as well.

At the end of this month, at its annual Research Faculty Summit, Microsoft researchers are on tap to share more....

This isn't your crummy 2,4,8 core4 stuff although it will take true 8 core minimum to get it humming. it scales to 64 cores, is theory. (completely skips 32 cores as hogwash)

MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS IN SCALE ARE EXPECTED.

OS/2 died because of IBM.
I have worked with IBM several years.
And I can tell you it's the most stupid company I have ever seen.
They had the chance to make it with OS/2, but their colleagues INSIDE IBM, called PC-company, decided to push Windows instead of OS/2.
Not because customers wanted Windows, but because IBM has no management that dare to take good decissions.
I once got hold of Lou Gerstners phone and fax number, so we published it on the web to have the guy change his mind.
Nothing happened, he only changed the numbers and made them secret :-)

Would Lou have dared to take charge, OS/2 would have been the OS of today.

I thought Wabi came from Sun and was used to run Windows 3.x code on top of Solaris. It emulated both the Windows system calls and the x86 processor, if I recall correctly.
