1.3 wasn’t really great, although it was used by a number of embedded systems such as ATMs and the like. Version 2.0 was actually quite good. It could typically run DOS and Windows software in addition to native stuff. I got one of the Wing Commander games to run on it.
Sadly, there were basically no native applications, so there was no point in switching from Windows. So it never took off.

My first not embedded OS! Actually not… It wasn’t the hipster “warp”… Boy i am old 😅
Never seen an OS/2 computer in the wild unfortunately. How similar was it to Windows?
