Glad to see there are others out there that recognize(d) the rock-solid nature of OS/2 and building applications thereon. Windows vs. OS/2 is somewhat like the VHS vs. Beta Max wars. VHS out marketed Sony, as Micksoft did against IBM, but, unless things have changed lately, BetaMax is what the commercial folks use. So it could have gone with OS/2, and actually did at bank ATMs and other mission critical applications where rock-solid was more important than show, except the rug was pulled out from under all the application developers of those applications by the OS manufacturer. Bottom line, the "show" usually wins the consumer market place but the "go" can win if the manufacturer is really serious and quality over show and cheap is still demanded by SOME in the US.
