You're not well informed (and I'm afraid you're not alone!).  I'm 
running OS/2 since its first pre-release and I'm still happy with it 
(although today under the name eComStation, a sort of repackaging of the 
orginal IBM OS/2 by Serenity Systems International). My current 
hardware: AMD64 dual core, PCI(express), SATA drives, 100 MB LAN, etc. 
Applications: e.g. Firefox, Thunderbird, Open Office, Gimp, etc. etc. 
And also runs DOS and most Windows (16 and 32 bits) apps.

Regards, Rob.
