The one thing that no one (that I see) is addressing is
MARKETING MARKETING MARKETING
WinBlows does just that. But it's successful. Why? Your mother and your boss think it's the best thing since sliced cheese -- even if it sucks.
IBM NEVER did any marketing to let your boss or your mom know what OS/2 was. Consequently they followed the path of lease resistence and bought Microsoft.
I believe the LINUX project has nothing to learn from the demise of OS/2 because since the marketing of LINUX by the LINUX community has been phenominal.
Check out AppGen. Costs some $$$ but is generally a well built application. Has modules for General Ledger, Accounts Recievable, Billing, etc. Basically any business function needed. And it runs on Linux!
