If those inside made a pact with the devil, which I also believe, had understood
the strategic value and needs of IBM's largest accounts, they just might not
have tried kill off OS/2.  Sure, how many times has OS/2 "died" now?  I
only laugh at people who say that now.  Let them believe what they will.

Whomever inside IBM may have made such a pact, I'll bet they're not so cocksure
of themselves now.  I'll bet they spend many waking (and maybe non-waking) 
moments concerned about how to keep a lid on it and hatching coverup plans.

I'd love to have the proof, as would the worker bees still giving support.
