I have had the misfortune of dealing with OS/2 varients in the past.
Trust me, if you work with software on a commercial basis, stick with
windows. Whilst it can be a pain sometimes, it is much better than any
other OS these days. And before the flaming starts, yes i work with
linux daily.

May I also add, that nearly every man and his dog writes windows
software, likewise every hardware vendor writes windows drivers.
DEspite the problems, it has many merits.
