Yea, if money was no object, it would be interesting. Makes one wonder why
it's so expensive...

True enought. DOS/Win support have been the strong as well as the weak point
of OS/2. And I believe that if IBM had released 2.0 with the UI of 1.3 instead
of delaying it to get the WPS ready, things might have been different. Windows
3.0 would may have been seen as a cheap OS/2 knockoff, who knows? Timing is
everything and MS did beat IBM.

It's all so easy in hindsight, isn'it? :)
