That's pretty typical here. I believe that the problem is that OS/2
hasn't seen a significant change since OS/2 Warp 4, the last version I
used, so it appears to be difficult to understand that other operating
systems are on the move.

NT 4 was the version of Windows that migrated me from OS/2. I
personally, after my time using OS/2 and my job of working on Unix,
found it very stable. Furthermore, I found 2000 and now XP have improved
uptime(fewer restarts because of software installations and network
configuration).

While not perfect, I do believe the OS is far stable than what I had
under OS/2(from 2.1 to 4).
