I think the point he was making was that OS/2 is much LESS bug-free
than either Windows or DOS. I would have to wholeheartedly agree with
that. Of course, there are other factors (compatibility, speed, ease
of installation, price, etc.), but it seems to me pretty obvious that
OS/2 is less buggy than Windows and DOS.

So, the result is that the "OS/2 will die because it's unstable" is
not a great argument. That's not to say that the others aren't...
