"I don't assume there has to be a global standard…I presume there IS a global standard. For business desktop machines that is." There's just to many differences in your standard for me to call it a standard… "If 80 to 90% of the market isn't 'standard'….I sure don't know what is." I don't know either, there isn't one yet. " And when it comes to large companies…I suspect that number is much closer to 95%." Actually, with the bigger companies, OS/2 has more of a following than you give it credit for, and your forgetting totally about UNIX and other platforms. I'd say Win probably doesn't even have 75% there. (My company has 60% OS/2, 35% Win/DOS, and 5% other. Admitted, we aren't that big, but I know of big companies that are exclusive OS/2.
