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

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?

They made a huge mistake legitimizing open source and are now suffering for it.

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

If true, how come no one switched to IBM's software? Obviously because they trusted IBM even less.
