Hey now that's OS/2 line: "A Better DOS than DOS, a better Windows than
Windows" :))

Right now I am playing with a program called Executor which allows me to
run Mac software on my Intell box. Linux is not a problem as most of the
Linux programs have been ported over to OS/2 using EMX/GCC (my current CLI
is more *nix like than it is OS/2-DOS like). Even XFree86 has been ported
over.

There is even a Win32 project going on to allow the running of Win95/NT
programs under OS/2 (if anyone would *want* to run that crap).
