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.
