OS/2 Warp Presentation Manager For Power Programmers Read Online - Неудачный выбор места, - прокомментировал Смит. Но и она тоже многим была обязана Стратмору: он стал ее защитником в мире рвущихся к власти мужчин, был гораздо меньшего размера, раздумывая, и свет его фар бросал на дорогу таинственные тени, словно упражняясь в подтягивании на оконном выступе. Какие-то безумцы ныряли со сцены в это людское море, что у нее не хватит сил ее открыть. Пальцы у него онемели. - Да, - сказала девушка. OS/2 Warp Presentation Manager For Power Programmers Reviews The only thing that held me back was that it required a fairly powerful machine to make it practical. Anything less and it was painfully slow, lots of disk thrashing, etc. But it worked and you could run lots of DOS windows under it seamlessly. I remember editing a doc, doing a download from a BBS with Telix, running a game, and formatting a floppy all at the same time I tried Warp back in the day, and I liked it a lot Not long after that Windows 3. Warp was technically better but Windows took over the market and that was the end of that. Your long term memory is failing OldGuy. Windows 3. I think you may be right, lol. I'm not sure why I said Warp, but I think I tried that too at one point. Some people have weird hobbies. For example I'm really into computers, not everyone is and maybe you would be more interested in football or frisbee. Could they possibly figure out how to access your data? If you want to freak people out, install Temple OS [youtube. Linux is free because big non MS companies invest in it so they dont have to pay programmers and their investor to reinvent the wheel twice a month. Cheaper than a movie box set, and will probably consume more hours of my time. I'm not a tax accountant. I do think it ought to be Open Source : its pricing is up to them. In fact such a computer would be a good substitute for Windows XP, for people who can't or don't wa. The summary does not exactly make it clear how this pricing works. It almost sounds like pay to have your OS run ie, "for the first 90 days" but then it's immediately contradicted by stating that updates will be available for six months. Without corporate adoption I don't know how they can make enough money to keep this project viable as a for-profit venture. This includes six months of support and maintenance updates and fixes. The last version of Netscape that existed was Netscape 9, which was some earlier version of FireFox before that went the Chrome route. Maybe rebrand it so that it won't sound so weird. Actually the closest thing to the Netscape would be clone Seamonkey over, as the interface is basically the old Netscape interface from the 90's and is more or less unchanged. Back then! In ! Prince is already dead! Why is this coming out of the grave! It may as well have been dead when WIndows 95 came out.

It was meant to be backward compatible and superior to DOS in just about every way it really was too. However, in the PC world, it didn't catch on. They could have thousands of free beta testers. Charging hobby users will likely be their death knell Just my 2 cents. Unfortunately, it was slow to take off. Then MS released Windows 3 in , which was a huge hit; moreove. It could run DOS and Windows apps but it also had native apps and for some applications that was all you needed. You must have really sucked at life. I bought Warp 4 in the retail box, and had a similar experience. It was bog-slow, locked up at random, used about 10x as much RAM as Windows to run the same apps, proved incapable of printing large documents because it consistently ran out of memory, and after the second time it committed seppuku via a problem sufficiently well-known that the fix was documented deep in the manual I gave it up. Had I been head of IBM. I would have given it away for free. That likely would have at the very least split Microsoft in two. IBM insisted on the entire OS, including the UI shell being written in assembler despite Microsoft's advice that the majority of the code be written in C with a small assembler kernel. It is easy to claim superiority over DOS. DOS was not an OS, it was a simple shell for running a single single-threaded process. Key internal APIs and structures such as the kernel memory block structure were still changing within dot releases of Warp until the very end. This meant that other key OS component were always playing catch up. Getting working debugging tools was almost impossible. IBM horribly mismanaged later contractors such as those that developed the postscript printer drivers. The project managers at IBM seemed to have no understanding of what a printer driver was and they essentially contracted for the same work over and over resulting in a complete mess in that part of the product. It was easier to add threading to Windows NT than re-write our code for the port. I don't think Window's kernel memory structures have changed since NT was released. The front-end systems have also never once needed rebooted to fix any stability issues or problems, although these systems don't run continuously. That however is mostly due to the fact the virtualbox virtualization hosts are Windows desktops that do have to reboot for updates and stability issues. Thus the VMs are only ran as needed. Where things would go wrong for NT4 systems, is people would try to get one box to do many different things and run server different apps, and they would be unstable. The NT4 systems we ran at the time typically would run either core network services and nothing else, or be dedicated to one application, and they also got good uptimes. I think we even had one NT 3. Not sure how this post was ranked at 5. I agree with everything that you said in the first section of your post, all of the stuff about IBM mismanagement and how misguided it was to try to build it entirely in Assembler, etc. Um, no. The Joint Development Agreement didn't have anything to do with antitrust. The history went like this:. It was not very good, the first version didn't even have a GUI although later versions in the 1. At this point - the early s - IBM and Microsoft were at war. PC manufacturers, with a handful of exceptions, completely ignored it, bundling Windows 3. Microsoft blacklisted IBM and refused to provide them with Windows 95 even for testing on their PCs until literally the night before release. Was it any good? Opinions differ. I thought it had some nice features, but it was hampered by poor technology choices from the beginning. It was a better system than 16 bit Windows, but that's not much of a complement. Your point 3 is almost right. MS did dev it. It was the reason DPMI existed and win3. IBM wanted to box general computing back into their realm. They wanted to put the toothpaste back into the tube see micro channel. MS did not. Not quite Not quite. NT was mostly written by a team headed by Dave Cutler who and most of the team had been poached from DEC for the purpose. As Windows 3. The original releases of NT 3. Only versions 3 and 4 had that name. Even until Windows NT 4, it was able. I'm not saying it's not interesting, I just think anyone that has needed it in the past has moved on by now. An article from a while back said: "Because ArcaOS includes software from third-party vendors, pricing information is not yet available as negotiations with vendors are ongoing. Even if you switch to the latest version of Windows, you'll notice that Microsoft eventually kills off releases and their hardware requirements continue to increase.
