3 million more OS/2 users (NOT!)... Wake up and face the *real* world... You may think OS/2 is the best there is,
 but it is *not* the most widely used there is!  Windows 95, and broke ALL records in sales (yes the advertising did it)
OS/2 may have a few users, but nothin comapred to Win95!...
For that matter... Mac's are better than OS/2!

Back to the software thing...
YES  Win95 does have more apps available than OS/2, NO I have not categorized all of them, but take a trip into most
computer and software stores, what OS do you see more software for?
Think about it!
