If OS/2 was marketable enough of a product... it wouln't have had to be
dumpted... however Microsoft's marketing unfortunatly won... I'm surprised
your being so defensive of IBM... if any company could be acused of being
strong armed against compeditors.. IBM would be it.. look up FUD in the
jargon file and be amused :)... they tell people 'you can use that
mathmatical formula because we own the patent.. unless you pay us.. or you
give us rights to your patents" 

bahhh...
