- Do you think IBM will care? I think IBM is purposefully taking a loss
- on OS/2 (both with wide-distribution beta and overall development) to
- crush Microsoft in the OS business. And I will laugh when OS/2 apps
- start to pop up like they did with Windows (trickle first, then an
- avalanche) and OS/2 takes Microsoft out of business. Who could
- want more:
- * DOS Shell for your old DOS apps
- * Windows shell that runs FASTER than MS-Windows
- * OS/2 itself, a multithreaded OS
