Yea, the most interesting thing about 32-bit OS/2 is how MS turned it into an entire fiasco. I could write an entire article about this one. In the meantime see my comments on os2museum blog for example.

yeah that is how I found it by accident! It seems the deal was with Microsoft exclusively and it wasn’t a simple plug&play operation which is why it didn’t make it until Windows 3.1 , and why IBM couldn’t include it in OS/2 …

I have to wonder if the MS OS/2 2.0 was going to have networking built in much like Windows for Workgroups or Windows 95, instead of being separate products slapped on as it was with OS/2 1.x and beyond. Even the Extended Editions of OS/2 you still had to keep running various setups after installing the Base OS which just felt so… non integrated.

That’s what TrueType was called during development.
