Do you want to start a reader ballot or use djgpp as the oracle of Delphi?
>Which one will you GNU people like best?
My answer: None of both worlds.
If you are an IBMer you'd prefer OS/2, if you are a DECie, you'd say NT.
That's my opinion.
The releasing of OS2/2.1beta on ftp-os2.nmsu.edu in ~/pub/os2/2.1/beta
is an interesting point. I made me, who was already playing with NT,
take a short excursion into the OS2 world.
I believe that presently OS/2 is an interesting platform for GNU
development because there may be more ported GNU software available.
Under NT presently MSC 7.0 C/C++ is the only choice you have. Or has GCC been
ported?
In the long run I believe that MS has the better kernel.
The 486/386 world is an open world. Everyone's invited to pioneer a new OS
on that platform. See 386BSD, LINUX, NextStep/Mach.
Just some thoughts to initiate a discussion.
