> As far as the big MS is concerned, it is an 'operating system'.
Well, they're wrong. Just because MS says it doesn't mean it's true. I think
people are realizing that more and more.
> …but IBM doesn't have(or didn't before the new WARP ad campaign) the
marketing savvy to effectively market against Micro-Slop.
No argument there. IBM is changing for the better, but the jury is still out
on how successful they'll be.
> …and a good operating system without good software just won't survive.
Sad, but true. Kinda puts OS/2 in the same category as AmigaDOS. People who
use either of those systems know they have something superior to the mainstream
DOS/Windows kludge. It's just too bad the developer support is so weak.
Fortunately for OS/2, it's gaining new support right now. It'll be interesting
to see if the Amiga can do the same when (if?) it gets revived.
