I've used Win 3.1, Win95 and OS/2 Warp....

Warp wins hands down for usability.

Contrary to what some 'experts' think in this newsgroup, WIN95 sucks. And
until you have tried other OS then keep your uninformed comments to yourselves.

Until you ***s stop buying into Microsoft hype, we'll be stuck with some
form of crap...

PS. Win95 will take a long time to make in it on the corporate desktop..

Boycott Win95? Not me... I like it... a LOT!

Brilliant post. We know exactly who you're referring to... NOT!

I run NT 3.5 on one of my machines... excellent. But I like Win95 too. It's
great.

Is there a planned version for OS/2?? Perhaps
someone from Papyrus would care to comment??

There is no plan to produce IndyCar Racing II for OS/2 at this time.

Yeah, I think it sucks.
I do not want to win95 on my hard drive and would not have to if all
these games were not coming out for it. I may be saved if someone
writes a joystick driver for windows nt.

IndyCar Racing II will be released simultaneously for DOS, Windows 3.1,
Windows 95 and Macintosh.

For OS/2? Yeah Right Why bother?!

I heard that IndyCar Racing 2.0 is delayed. I would be very sad if this is
true :)

Can anyone deny/confirm this?

I haven't heard this rumor, but if delay means more improvements for
ICR2, I don't complain. I've been playing ICR for two years, and I
quess I'll spend more time with ICR2 so some delay in release date
doesn't mean that much.

Can't do that.

You are an IDIOT!

What determines a particular OS useability is the
environment it is used in. I recently replaced windows 3.11 with Win 95 on MY
CORPORATE DESKTOP and it is fantastic for me. It is a much more "intelligent"
OS, recognizes the environment, (on my laptop it knows when it is docked or
undocked) and knows the best runtime memory configuration automatically for
different applications.) Maybe you would prefer us to all switch to 286s
running 3270 emulation hooked to some monster mainframe...
