OS/2 is 20 years old today: dead but still walking
,----[ Quote ]
| With the Windows 95 release back in late August of that year,
| Microsoft embarked on a PR blitz such as never before seen, which
| included "convincing" hardware OEMs not to preload "that other OS".
| Even IBM's own PC Division reluctantly agreed to preload OS/2 Warp
| on a line of its Aptiva desktops, but guess what? It was offered in
| a "dual boot" setup, alongside Windows, so buyers had to choose at
| the initial power-up whether to run one or the other. Would the
| Apple of today pre-load OS-X only alongside Vista, instead of
| promoting its own OS? Clearly, IBM's other divisions were
| sabotaging the software division's strategy, all for the
| short-term interest, in other words, Microsoft's advertising dollars.
