    80’s? I thought it came out around the same time as windowed 95. Or am I thinking of OS/2 Warp?

      I liked BeOS

      I never had the chance to use it but those tabbed title bars were slick.

    Now if only the company was willing to make the licensing terms a little friendlier for individual use, or even create an open-core version. We have 9Front and Haiku (and ReactOS), why can’t we have a FOSS OS/2?
