- Don't get me wrong, I support OS/2 from the very beginning. However,
- even IBM ships their Aptiva lines with windows 95. All the OS/2
- commercials? Gone, right after windows95 shipping. What can you say
- about that? IBM HAD the opportunatty, but IBM is just too gutless to
- face Microsoft. And once again, good technologies let us down. Or,
- maybe it's just some fate between IBM and Microsoft.
- The reality is, if you rely on IBM to take care of Microsoft, you will
- be disappointed at last. Even IBM does not believe in IBM, why should
- us?
