Windows didn't become 32 bit until many many years after OS2 was dead and buried.
It's been the same story ever since, just like Rich outlined it.

I did not see win3.0 until about 10 years ago. I was invloved in computers in the late 70s and 80s but spent most of the 90s doing things that kept me out of the house and damaging brain cells.
So I used BASIC, DOS and then win 98/Me
