regarding MCA vs EISA :
Well alot of people in the business world (that's where the big money is
and not in individuals with PC's) seem to think MCA is the way to go. Think
about it this way: You are going to buy a new computer. You are a business
that already has MCA equipment, and you have had no trouble with it. You are
faced with a choice between EISA (which is NOT standard - despite its name)
and MCA (which is standard). What makes more sense.
Now if OS/2 2.0 does what they say, it might well become the choice of
businesses (since they'll get excellent system support from IBM). It just
plain works faster and better than Windows (again assuming it does what they
say it will ;-) )
I don't know because I haven't played with i too much, but the tests
I've done with the 2.0 beta seem pretty convincing.
