Two articles on OS/2: "IBM's farewell to OS/2 next month shouldn't take anyone by surprise. Long before Big Blue announced its plans to pull the plug, industry watchers were drafting OS/2's obituary." And, "Yesterday saw IBM cease the sale of the OS/2 Operating system. Come the 31st of December, standard support for the OS will end also. However, a significant number of companies and people continue to use it, and they are finding ways for OS/2 to live on."

Actually, Microsoft flooded the market with their development tools, and gave them away in order to lure developers to the Windows platform.
No, no! He said MS made developers more productive!
Now you've gone and pointed out that they competed unfairly to get a leg up on the competition. What if the government finds out? Won't there be a hearing of some sort because of MS using this advantage unfairly? What will happen now? And what about the negative effects [of reality] on MS's reputation? And what about the shattered ideals of the poor innocent(s) that still believe(s) in MS?
Now you've done it! Someone is going to call you a bad name for sure! You should have left this harmless bit of fable about MS superiority and functionality rest. No point in picking at old wounds.
