- Because the Windows version still has to run on top of a virtual DOS...and the
- virtual DOS is the thing that pushes your PULSE graph to the top of the scale.
- System resources are used much more efficiently by OS/2 apps. Performance
- would be an issue in making the decission to buy WP5.2 for OS/2.
-
- Plus....if no one buys it.....they won't write any more software for OS/2.
