[CS-FSLUG] OT: Is IBM close to avenging OS/2's death?

[Fred A. Miller]

"Is IBM close to avenging OS/2's death? 
 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). Since then, IBM has 
downplayed any insinuation that it's seeking revenge. But insiders know 
better. If nothing else, the company's embrace of Linux, jettisoning of its 
PC business, and lukewarm backing of Itanium and 64-bit windows have put IBM 
in a better position than it has ever been for a major offensive against 
Redmond. Not convinced? What about IBM's recent backing of an EU crackdown on 
Microsoft. Want more? Then consider Chiphopper."
