The history of OS/2

A better DOS than DOS, a better Windows than Windows, OS/2 was going to be the OS we would all want to install on our PC, but some how despite it being a really good OS, IBM never did get the masses to buy and install it.

Was it that OS/2 was not all that is was cracked up to be, or was it that IBM's marketing department was as good at marketing as Liz Truss was at out lasting lettuce.
