Every now and then, some blogger working for a big website will write a story about how company Abc should make radical move Xyz in order to better, eh, well, that's usually left in the dark. These are generally more akin to said bloggers hoping for radical move Xyz rather than there being a well-argumented reasoning. Radical moves in the technology business don't happen very often, but when they do, there's generally a good reason for them.

I have yet to come across any IBM or OS/2 code in the base parts of the system, and I doubt it exists in modern versions of Windows (there used by a an OS/2 environmental subsystem, but that was eliminated back in XP).
On the other hand, there are little bits and pieces of Intel code here and there that were written under agreement.

There's bound to be some/lots of legacy OS/2 code floating around in there also.
And I don't think IBM is likely to be helpful when it comes to freeing that up :-)
