~Though I still don't think that Gates is man enough to swallow his pride and
~sell OS/2 apps again, the ISVs on the OS/2 side should be *prepared* for

Why the heck would MS (or any other vendor) write an app for installed base of 
< 4M users?  Do the math, there's no major vendors writing OS/2 apps simply 
because the market's not big enough to be profitable.  It's not a technical or 
religious debate, simply the reality.
