@richardbirch2007 Yes they did. If they had not been a partner with IBM Windows NT would never have been. Everyone would still be buying OS' like Windows 98 and having their system still crash.
@Lam1ngton Many are still using it in the form of eComstation which is still supported with IBM drivers and OS/2 operating system. Serenity Systems just changed the GUI, and added applications to run on the OS.
This is the unedited version which never made it to the public. The public version only included the OS/2 section. Microsoft was too embarrassed with the comparison that they asked the organization to cut their act out for public copy.
NOT TRUE.
I saw this at my OS/2 User Group becaue I remember the Horse Mouse Pointer.

Where is it now?
Ask the clone makers, and ask yourself how much more money Microshit had. Thank God Apple didn't fall in 1997.

Interesting, I watching this on Windows Vista Ultimate SP1 64 bit, where is OS/2 now?

Microsoft just 'borrowed' all of the features of OS/2 while IBM failed to market OS/2 properly.

In a sick and somewhat perverted way, Windows NT/XP/Vista/7 IS OS/2.
If it wasn't for IBM and Microsoft's OS/2 partnership, Windows as we know it today would not exist.

@bobdole57 So true. They would have had to use a Linux base like Apple did.

If Windows NT v OS/2 back in the 90's boiled down to a competition between these two guys we'd all be using OS/2 today :P
