 IIRC they started officially calling it Warp with

 That sounds about right to me.  I had read somewhere that there was a general
 Star Trek theme to code names for OS/2 and the first was "Borg" - but I may
 be wrong about that.  I have floppy and CD-ROM boxes from IBM on the shelf
 above me that have the name "OS/2 Warp Version 3" on them*.  OS/2 Version 4
 was called "Warp Connect" to emphasize the ease of internet connectivity.
 The next version was to have a different Star Trek name altogether but I do
 not recall what it was supposed to have been. 
Warp Connect was _not_ OS/2 4.0, it was still 3.x as was Merlin (I
haven't bought it yet, the local stores no longer bother with IBM at
all and I don't mail order software).  OS/2 2.x was _just_ OS/2, the
name Warp arrived with 3.0.  I don't know what rumour mill came up
with the "Borg" name, but it's total bullshit -- OS/2 predates that
Trek concept by several years.
  *for the curious: system requirements on the box for
Warp 3.0 were listed as
 "Intel 386 SX-compatible of higher; 4 MB minimum of RAM" (<- widely regarded
 as a joke among OS/2 users who knew that 8 MB RAM was a minimally configured
 system). 
Runs better than Windows 3.1 on a 386/25 with 4 Meg RAM.  I assume
the above quote was pasted from from somewhere, because you've never
used it (OS/2) yourself.  Remember, Windows 95 supposedly can run on a
4MB system, says my package.
