[zepper72]

Forget OS/2, give me back my Commodore.

[Colamix666]

Oh. I think he lies.

[intel80386]

I was the understatement.

[intel80386]

Windows was at it infancy, while in the development of OS/2 2.0 which was almost done completly by IBM, Microsoft was to create NT OS/2, Microsoft and IBM split way after the success of Windows 3.0 which sold more than Microsoft OS/2 1.3, also differance in API and Approach, Microsoft did not really charge developer for the SDK, IBM charged for its SDK. Second, IBM did many mistake in marketing

@SonicTheJackrabbit No he simply did not know that a few years later, OS/2 would be challenged by the success of Windows 3.0

[SonicTheJackrabbit]

@nextstep333 Yeah I kinda realized that. Back then when I made that comment I was dumb. Oh and just a reminder, Windows didn't receive any popularity until 3.1. (And especially once 95 hit the scene.) 1.0-3.0 to my knowledge, were not very successful.

[nextstep333]

@SonicTheJackrabbit Think again, Windows 3.0 was popular because it was more refined. I remember that Microsoft even had a party because it was really popular but not as Windows 95. Windows 3.1 was like new makeup and perfume.

.... abd he's only just finished taking his cock out of Job's ass.

[McVaio]

That was in the 80's.

[intel80386]

I think that was an understatement!
