"Protection from Virtual Machines"

The goal to create Virtual Machines always the same: Large OS goes absorb small/old OSes.

You remember what happened in 2008 (iMac/Intel, Parallels), when thousands of OS/2 users were wahsed aways from OS/2 city.

Conclusion: All official OS/2 web-sites, the developer of OS/2 *must* block the topic of Virtual Machines. Don't support the development, don't distribute the information. Yes, the topic of VM is interesting for some users but VM kill OS/2 quickly.

Zero reaction

Many developers of OS/2 applications were working several monthes on a project, but get 0 feedback, 0 reaction.

1) The age of OS/2 users is high, they are watching but don't spend efforts to "send likes" to every project. 2) In current situation, it's necessary create products for 100% of the users, don't make special products.

What to do? (we don't have advice)

Unique OS/2 User Interface

OS/2 is diffrent from other systems thanks to unique User Interface.

FOC file selector

eCo Software have created File Open Container - modern dialog to open/select files.

LIP packages - is it easy?

LIP (Language Interface Pack) is used to switch language of OS/2.

USB Flash in OS/2

OS/2 doesn't support Windows USB FAT32 flash disks. You should re-format USB flash disk in OS/2 to FAT32. After this you can use this USB flash in Windows AND OS/2.

Report: OS/2 compatible hardware

Every year eCo Software was publishing a report what computer to select for OS/2. Report: OS/2 compatible hardware

Innovations in OS/2

IBM OS/2 Warp was ahead thanks to innovations: list of features

ArcaOS 5.1.1 - DOS works again

DOS virtual machine works again (it was working on Core 2 Duo, and didn't for i5). Install ArcaOS in UEFI mode to use DOS VM.

OS/2 can't access memory

Usually OS/2 can use 4 Gb (3.5 Gb) of RAM. BUT, For new computers (let's say, manufactured after 2017 and newer), OS/2 can access 2 Gb, 1.5 Gb or less.

Wizard (Russia)

Wizard is designing for OS/2 since 2004.

Joachim Benjamins (Netherlands)

Joachim was working in Mensys BV since 90-th. and was managing eComStation development. Later, in ~ 2015 Mensys couldn't continue the development. Joachim doesn't participate in chats or projects currently.

More OS/2 people

Stream: ArcaOS 5 - ghost of OS/2

Youtube video, russian language

(not translated)

Main idea: during two hours people are discussing OS/2 without knowing what is it.
