IBM was the problem at that time. OS/2 had poor tools. Basically very little advertising. Usabiliy was in the toilets. IBM added half-baked stuff to OS/2 (Ultimail?). Merlin was supposed to have transparent windows long before win2k had that feature. They botched the UI with OS2 Warp4. WebExplorer was abandonned. The list is long.
Running Windows on OS/2 never hurt OS/2. IBM doing very little is what hurt OS/2. Heck, TeamOS2 did most of the evangelizing and advocating for OS/2.
The whole gaming industry is oriented on growing kids into gamers (I.E.: Nintendo's Pokemon). American game shops are still hooked on FPS, RTS and MMORPGs. And the milking as no end in sight.
This reminds me of Airline companies and their habit of over selling places on their flights.
if companies can't cope with what they sell then maybe they should get out of the business? Why is this the fault of the users who max out their bandwidth again?
I don't know why people get so uptight about this. Aren't this censoring and blocking mostly equivalent to aussie regular local criminal and civil laws?
With all the money the Euro tax payers probably spent on this worthless crusade, they could have probably built their own alternative OS or retooled some Linux with even better usability.
At least the american DoJ were smart enough to know better when they stopped going at MS for nothing.
Why didn't IBM get off it's arse and make OS/2 work and increase its user base instead of abandonning it? Why did it abandon the CHRP platform so easily?
Reality: ---> Microsoft won because everybody else gave up. ---
Novell didn't move a finger to save itself. Netscape didn't have a plan. IBM isn't capable of leading the way.
So instead of scapegoating the blame to political parties, why don't you look at the other players first. Stop being so biased and get back to reality.
IBM is no match for Microsoft. Just like Novell (dead NOS company) was no match for Microsoft long ago. Microsoft listens to the market. Novell didn't. IBM never did.
Microsoft has the best tools. The best Network OS (Win2K3). Legions of devs. IBM doesn't have any of those.
IBM is dead meat. And no, those IBM executives with advanced golfing talent won't help save the company.
when I try newer Linux distros every 6 months to see if they're good enough to fit my needs, I used to install using LILO so that I could add them to the XP Flex Boot manager.

I use ARES and eMule. :P

It's sad that they didn't even bother to reveal the reason why they refused.

Blasphemy!!!
Great emotional post. Certainly brought a tear to my eye.

Why is the parent post a troll again? O_o
Tie-fighter versus X-Wing. All out outerspace war. Online. 32 versus 32 player team deathmatch servers.
Put a medical frigate on one side and a star destroyer on the other side. User select aircrafts (X-Wing, Tie-Defender, etc...) And then FIGHT.

Now that's what I'd like implemented in my city. No more waiting 3~4 hours at the clinic. Or those 4~5 hours long waiting at the hospitals.
Unions would all be in shambles. lol
Troll? O_o
I thought it was very funny.
Great Rhyme! Good job.

PS: Aussies need more WoW servers. lol

Every Night Elf looks forward to that one quest in Auberdine, Darkshore...

XPS PCs are way better gaming machines than those Alienware PCs. Why would Dell pony up dough for something they do better (aka making PCs)?
Looks exactly like AC2. And the faces are just as boring and lifeless like they were in AC2.
Much better title.
Than things like this. Hp.com and Worldofwarcraft.com have trouble with this browser.
dumb perverts. Why don't perverts just grow up and get out of the freaking stone age...
Women of my dreams. Plays video games too. ;)

:(
Last distros I tried all enforced GRUB.
We need simple, people.
