Up until this line you're correct. OS/2 is IBM. (yes I know about the first
version from MS, and i has been rewritten several times) They are none to
happy with MS and are putting huge amount of funds and dev time into the
java silver bullet.
I consider them an ally at this point (though they need to be watched, and
of course they do other things that generally piss me off).
Of course if linux was fully multi-threading at the kernel level and there
was a port of the Work Place Shell for X, I'd be screaming for IBM's head
too. ; >

I agree....except that we all must unite against MS or we shall be consumed!
