Stardock's OS/2 Essentials Version 2.0 review is up at BlueNexus:
OS/2 Essentials was made in the day of OS/2 Warp 4, when there were indeed things missing. There were no screen savers built into Warp 4, no the Trash Can, and other things you would assume would be a standard item. Today, there is no need for those “Essentials” when you have eCS.
So you do not “need” OS/2 Essentials, but is there still programs on this CD worth using in today’s modern eCS system?
You know the drill, read the review, download the CD!
