I think it's safe to say that os/2 is dead, so why even dispute it's great features 8 years ago? Don't get me wrong, i use to run os/2 until nt 4 came out. the thing that killed os/2 was that no one made applications for it.
now by applications i don't mean it was completely lacking; i still have the 20+ follies for borland c++ and delphi for os/2. the key problem was that ibm failed to properly back it up. by the time `98 came out most of the software you would spot in stores was for windows. the rest we all know, windows became window$ and os/2 was religated to c64esc community, with people holding on to their dear os/2.
os/2 is no longer current.
