====={{anchor|2.0}}GEM/2===== [[File:Gem20about.png|thumbnail|GEM 2.0 displaying its Desktop Info dialog. This version of GEM supports 640Γ480 16-color VGA.]] DRI responded with the "lawsuit-friendly" '''GEM Desktop 2.0''', released on 24 March 1986, which eventually added support for [[Video Graphics Array|VGA]], sometime after its release in 1987.<ref name="Lineback_GEM20"/> It allowed the display of only two fixed windows on the "desktop" (though other programs could do what they wished), changed the trash can icon, and removed the animations for things like opening and closing windows. It was otherwise similar to GEM/1, but also included a number of bug fixes and cosmetic improvements. In 1988 Stewart Alsop II said that GEM was among several GUIs that "have already been knocked out" of the market by Apple, IBM/Microsoft, and others.<ref name="Alsop_1988"/>
