In an article on CNet Asia about the recent "browser wars" between M$ and
the Mozilla Foundation, author Charles Cooper tried to show what the M$
strategy is like when the Redmond company is faced real competition.
Here's a quote from the article:

"...During the early 1990s rivalry with IBM's OS/2, Microsoft pulled out
all the stops to make sure reporters were convinced the world was a better
place because of Windows. Microsoft's marketing prowess came in handy
because IBM had a better product. The reason OS/2 failed was because Big
Blue was utterly inept at making its case..."

I especially enjoy the line "Microsoft's marketing prowess came in handy
because IBM had a better product." ;)
