OS/2, Intel or AMD CPU?

AMT company (which is developing a Training simulator for oilmen based on OS/2) have switched to AMD CPUs. Of course, they were using Intel CPU, Intel chipset, Intel video to provide better compatibility with OS/2 but new motherboards put restrictions on memory available for OS/2 (example: i5 Gen9, 10 and newer: OS/2 can access 1.5 Gb, 1Gb or 2 Gb of memory instead of 3.5 Gb)

OS/2 and 4K monitors (for developers)

The progress is moving, OS/2 users migrate from CRT monitors to 4K, 2K displays. Example, Photo from 2018, 3K monitor, http://os2.guru/projects/userinterface/pics/2018/IMG-db2cfce1a86591e05b18959b57cd8bcd-V.jpg As you can see, the icons are small, text is not readable.

The latest ArcaOS released in 2025 includes improvements to support modern high resolution displays. * some applications were improved: dragtext, Arctool (zippy), DVD tools (dvdtoys) * warpsans font is updated * Some system dialogs were improved, rearranged

moreover, * PNG icons are used by the users more often

What is the next step? The developers of applications should adopt their applications for changing hardware, Glassman have published useful article

You can't stop time flow..

When UEFI and other barriers appeared, we said: it's not important what is changing in the computers. You can always install OS/2 to Used Core 2 Duo PC.

Time goes and we see that OS/2 must support new models of computers because old generations are not available. don't fit the requirements.

"SVISTA a-la Vista"

We have released SVISTA/2 virtual machine in 2004,

Eugene Gorbunoff have combined "Serenity Virtual Station" to spanish "Vista".

2004, 2005, there were several announcements on all major computer web-sites.
later Microsoft released OS named Vista

ArcaOS 5.1.1 - DOS works again

DOS virtual machine works again (it was working on Core 2 Duo, and didn't for i5). Install ArcaOS in UEFI mode to use DOS VM.

 

Siberian OS/2: templates of programs

If create 30-50 templates of GUI applications based on eCoSoft toolkit and Glassman PM C++ library then OS/2 people will start creating new native applications again. This will add "10%" to OS/2 GDP.
