MS pushed closed source competitors like OS/2 out of the market

Microsoft marketed their product just like IBM did, and the customers obviously chose Microsoft. It's time you grew up and accepted it.

IBM is only involved now because of slimy market practices by MS..

Like IBM is some sort of Angel LOL. They made a huge mistake legitimizing open source and are now suffering for it. Oracle no different.

Can you show me where IBM told OEM's that if they sold another Operating system that they would have to pay more for OS2?

IBM's Biggest mistake *ever* was teaming up with MS...
