I was happily using IBM OS/2 until about 4 years ago, it did everything better than the dog Windoze did EXCEPT for marketing. IBM, at that time, did everything backwards and stupid to give M$ the best running field seen recently in business.

Some attribute it to the 'rule of lawyers' scared silly of a revisit from Dept.Justice for anti-trust violations to previous conviction. Lots of the tricks that M$ pulled off came out in M$ own anti-trust testimony in the 90s. Gates must have lost 20 pounds of sweat over that time in the witness chair.

Big Blue was convicted? I thought the Nazgul beat that rap.
