I understand that IBM is also releasing a version of OS/2 that runs on the 8086. They are calling it OS/2 Impulse.

It'll still have the same performance as OS/2 Thrusters.

Causes flashbacks, it does. I wrote and maintained an OS/2 device driver for a while that ran a piece of custom hardware we'd developed. All in Intel assembly language, 32-bit, fortunately a flat memory model. 18,000 lines of assembler.
This hardware controlled signal timing on our line of commercial ink-jet printing systems. One late night of debugging including unrolling paper down the central aisle of our manufacturing area (which is a square a couple acres in size), and then crawling from one end to the other counting little marks on the paper. I couldn't do that crap today, my joints couldn't handle it.

I only used OS/2 Warp as a "better Windows than Windows" (which it was). I never wrote any serious code for it.

And Chris Maunder just announced the return of the Soapbox, right?
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

Good thing, because I had no way to explain it

I saw clone and 12 letters and immediately came up with doppelganger. I wasted 15 minutes trying to make it fit.

I had to add the explanation afterwards because I thought it would go before I could finish!

That was my mistake - I explained as I typed.
