When Microsoft first wrote DOS?!? Ho ho ho, chuckle, chuckle, snort!
Your entire post is filled with this kind of "revisionism". We can't
trust a word you say. Besides, who cares what you think about marketing
and strategy? Give us some *technical* reasons why we should go with Microsoft's products instead of OS/2. You are a technical expert,
aren't you? Why didn't you fill your post with arguments about the
technical superiority of Microsoft's products?
Oh, yeah. I remember. You *can't*.
