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.
