What do you think of OS/2? A necessary evil, because it’s both necessary and evil, Peter Norton of Norton Utilities fame told Microbytes Daily – and as for MS-DOS, it goes on forever,: the founder of Peter Norton Computing Inc, Santa Monica, California foresees personal computer users eventually falling into three camps, which he terms OS/2, High-DOS, and Low-DOS, with OS/2 being accepted mainly by MIS types in large corporations who want multitasking, what he termed Unix-like features without throwing away MS-DOS; he reckons that most users will remain with MS-DOS, with High-DOS users the equivalent of today’s power users – but there will be a huge market of Low-DOS users, with 80286 machines quickly becoming the standard, he said; and as for OS/2, well the memory chip shortage has set it back by two or three years.
