Web-browser - most important requirement

of course, web-browser is the most important requirement for the standard users today.

• we get news, movies, photos via web-browser
• access to banks, logistics, internet shops
• access to different databases
• ..

Without actual web-browser the OS becomes unusable

"One man, no man"

Building an Operating System - it's a huge project. it's like building a real City (build houses, dig flowers garden, etc). Thousands of people are going this in the city.

Conclusion: Standalone developer is unable to create something. Always join a group, interact with other developers. Moreover, interace with all other "characters" (managers, resellers, Active users, ..)

Unique OS/2 User Interface

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

"SVISTA a-la Vista"

We have released SVISTA/2 virtual machine in 2004,

Eugene Gorbunoff have combined "Serenity Virtual Station" to spanish "Vista".

Advice

Чтобы выключить OS/2 компьютер: нажимайте Ctrl-Alt-Del несколько раз. когда видите, что компьютер перегрузился, нажимаем кнопку выключения.

Переключение на русский: L-Alt + L+Shift, на английский: R-Alt + R+Shift

You can't stop time flow..

When UEFI and other barriers appeared, we said: it's not important what is changing in the computers. You can always install OS/2 to Used Core 2 Duo PC.

Time goes and we see that OS/2 must support new models of computers because old generations are not available. don't fit the requirements.
