Ok im a Windows user and willing to try all oses. Ive tried Linux but omg it was confusing but fun. Anyways I've never heard of OS/2 and wondering is it any good and what is it like?? Also is it free because i would be fun to mess with it.

Its is an OS originally co-developed by IBM and MS. MS dropped developement, after 1.2 I think which was 16 bit, when it saw win3 was going to be big and had hired David Cutler to develope a vms workalike we now know a NT. OS/2 was originally a single user OS but there are server versions. IBM still sells/supports/updates (put is trying to ween customers off it and convert to linux solutions) OS/2 on a cost basis. They have licenced it to Serenity Systems who make a client veriant called eComstation. Version 2.x on are 32 bit. A google search should reveal more. Its not suceptable to all thecrap floating around the intenet at the mo. Suppports dos and quite a few win 3.x programs quite well. OS/2s desktop-Workplace Shell is object orientated, and has been since its inseption in the early-mid 1990s something Longhorne "may" have in 2006. Is quite stable but like any OS has its quirks. Its more popular in Europe than it ever was in the US.
A lot of banks use/used it in ATM as well. No its not free, it is a comercial OS. ebay should have copies of if cheap though. In saying that I got my copy from an Assie mag cd back in Sep 2000 lol.

ill check ebay and thank you, i hope i eventully get to try this OS out, and is it worth it??

If you want to reduce the time spending patch/updating/avoiding expliots then yes it is.
OS/2 is very picky about hardware but there are some good info sites out ther in www land. And you can't just buy software for it. I see you are still using win98, I am too, it is less work with the right software to keep running than the current ms offerings as well :). Bit of an oxymoron really. Oh and MS have extended support for win 98 till 2006. Seems a lot of folk are quite happy with it.

Ok, another question, will this OS allow me to put it on a Window machine or does it have to be a mac?? Ive heard i couldnt but im doubting it.

It will install on a x86 if hardware is compatable. It will not install on a Mac. Well not without a vurtual machine software.............
