OS/2 was excellent, easily customisable by 3rd parties and only let down
by IBM not developing it beyond Warp 4. If IBM had continued to support
it and got more support from application developers (who chose instead
to go the MS route) it could now be a serious rival for MS and Apple
(IMHO of course)

But the fact IBM stopped supporting Home & Small Business Users caused
me to investigate Linux so mustn't complain too much ;-)
