Actually, the resurgence in "OS/2 is dead" rumours on Fidonet and Usenet have
a 100% statistical correlation with releases of Microsoft operating systems. 
Long time echo participants such as myself have long since noticed this
correlation. There were peaks just before the releases of each of Windows NT
3.5, DOS-Windows 95, Windows NT 4, and DOS-Windows 98.
