No, they weren't :-).  Considering IBM was "braggging" about 1M units of Warp 
since ship, and MS was shipping 2.8M units *a month*, I don't think anyone was 
losing any sleep.  They *are* still worried about OS/2 in the corporate arena, 
tho...

No, he didn't - there's no such animal.  MS only makes Word 1.0 and Excel 4.0 
for OS/2 1.x, and they've never been updated with no stated plans to do so.  
Office would also include PowerPoint, which has never been available for OS/2.
