Re:Out of Memory Error – The RAM Shortage of 1988 (2016) by scruffyherder on Sunday May 16, 2021 @09:25PM (#27179112)
This is one of the big reasons OS/2 crashed and burned. Version 1.1 released in 88 was the first version with presentation manager. And you really wanted a 4MB system, which just became insanely expensive. Windows/286 still ran in under a megabyte and Windows/386 could multitask MSDOS, something the FOOTBALL OS/2 betas could do, but IBM pulled from the product.
