"Is IBM close to avenging OS/2's death?
-Posted by David Berlind @ 10:14 am 

It's been almost 15 years since Microsoft jilted IBM's OS/2 at the altar,
kicking Big Blue while it was already down (financially), and exacerbating
the old school company's global state of disarray - one that outsider
(IBM's first ever) Lou Gerstner managed to turn around after he was
brought on board in 1993.  One year later, a group of Gerstner's
handpicked technical advisors identified Sun's Java as the strategic
technology on which some of IBM's fortunes could be protected or regained
from Bill Gates, who, with a roadmap for Windows NT then firmly under his
belt, was beginning to turn his attention towards one of IBM's most
coveted domains: its data centers."
