Actually, you're ALMOST right.  Aparently, MS was pretty worried about Win-95 last year, because a friend of mine who works there brought home a nice little toy - MS Office for OS/2.  Let me tell you - That's a NICE product!  The way it should be: MS makes great apps, but can't do shit for an OS - they oughtta just make their killing on apps for someone else's OS.

Also, while on the line with Tech. Support to help diagnose a really strange MS-Word bug in one of our customer's machines, the tech support guy accidentally told me to 'Hit both mouse buttons and tell me what's in the Window List'.  He also slipped and said 'Go to the Drives fol... I mean exit Windows and run ChkDsk.'  Maybe he's just used to OS/2 at home, but it made me think...  When I said "What're you running over there, OS/2?" he said "OS/2? Yeah, right!"

Hmm?
