What Is OS/2?
OS/2, stands for Operating System/2, is an IBM operating system for the personal computer initially developed by Microsoft and IBM to operate with Intel Corp.'s microprocessors, then later developed by IBM exclusively.
When introduced in 1987, OS/2 was intended to provide an alternative to Microsoft Windows for both enterprise and personal PC users. Today, OS/2 is a graphical interface similar to Windows; but it can also be run through command-line entries, such as DOS. In fact, many OS/2 and DOS commands are the same. The last version of OS/2 Warp, Warp 4, offered a Netscape-based Web browser that exploited OS/2's speech recognition capability. IBM enhanced OS/2 to provide server functions for e-business.
