Unfortunately, there is a widening chasm of opinion as to which product will be
supported as the OS of the 90's, OS/2 or Microsoft's new contender which pretty
much uses WINDOWS as the primary interface.

Microsoft isn't doing OS/2 anymore, they've completely pulled away from it. The
beta version of OS/2 v2.0 is the only version of it there will ever be. IBM is
continuing without the support of Microsoft, but you can imagine how far that's
going to go.  IBM hopelessly screwed up the two tries at DOS they wrote all by
themselves.  I have no faith in their ability to keep the OS/2 ball rolling,
especially considering that it had hardly gotten started.
