Comment Better safe than sorry - IBM OS2 (Score 3, Interesting) 1539
IBM went the other way with OS2 (1994?). I seem to remember salesmen trying to persuade people to buy OS2 machines with 16Mb. OS2 needed 32Mb to run properly.
Everyone just ended up complaining about the OS2 performance which was a shame, since it had a multiprocessing angle which Windows didn't have at the time.
So maybe we should applaud the efforts of developers to be realistic.
