if it makes you feel better it would have been reasonably possible to use a copy of warp 4 as a demo from a magazine cover, copy some files over and apply some fixpacks and end up with a decent gray-area copy of os/2.. at least back in the day..

iirc i originally paid like 3 or 400 for os/2 back in the day. if not exactly, basically with inflation.. so i don't really care what IBM thinks anymore cause that was quite a wad of cash for a 16 year old.. and we weren't the customer by the time Warp 4 rolled out anyways.
