The speed of it on the low end machines was not good even though it was advertised as speedy.

It _worked_ on 286 machines but it was slow to use. Kind of annoying to use but so was Windows 3.0 on the same machines. I remember selling the idea of faster UI to our school's IT guy and it was used until the the already old then machines were put of use.

So maybe it was success but it didn't feel like it...
