Agreed... thats what happened here. I got a little tired of working for my OS 
instead of the other way around. Having to buy OS/2-friendly hardware at the 
time. Everyone else I knew was enjoying their Windows computers.

I remember very well being at a friends apartment in 2001 and being shown
Windows 2000 with everything it could do. RDP, Tape backup, networking that
worked properly... sealed the deal for me. OS/2 was gone the next day.
