Actually, PC Weeks was somewhat reasonable over the last couple
months. They gave what seemed like fair reviews. They even bashed on
Microsoft a little for being stupid and obnoxious and lying to users
about OS/2. (Reference: Some systems are starting to come with OS/2
2.0 installed. Microsoft is offering "more flexibility" by having
those vendors replace OS/2 2.0 with DOS+Windows, or installing
DOS+Windows side-by-side with OS/2. PC Week correctly pointed out
that OS/2 already contains all the features of DOS+Windows, and is
effectively all three systems, while DOS+Windows is only two, and that
this "more flexibility" was a sham.)
I saw that the Infoworld article rated OS/2's compatibility as "poor"
and Window 3.1's as "excellent." That doesn't even deserve comment.
