I think that this is the most important fact of all.
I have been told by a large number of people that OS/2 is very
stable and a strong platform. However as it seems IBM didnt created
enough "media hype" around it. Windows 95 had much more hype then
OS/2.. we all know who won.

When it comes to computers, stability and usability is important.

But when it comes to buisness, sells and marketing, marketing
image and hype are much more important then the actuall software
capabilities.
