I think they are just following Microsoft retoric..  Microsoft and IBM did
OS/2 1.0 as a joint project..  From what i've heard.. Microsoft did it to
siphon off $$..  and IBM did it as a tax writeoff...

Microsoft used the $ to make windows, IBM failed to market OS/2 for many
years..  And starting with 2.1, os/2 got very popular.. And IBM decided it
was a bad idea to use it as a tax writeoff.... :)

And with Os/2's increasing popularity.. Microsoft got increasingly scared
of it..  Thus, All the flak and rhetoric in the media against it.
