IBM and Apple Operating Systems (Re: dosread.c again)

[Peter da Silva]

In article <143 at asihub.UUCP> jmp at asihub.UUCP (John Pantone) explains that
IBM is not guilty of deliberate malice, but rather stupidity:

> Microsoft and IBM simply blew it when designing MSDOS and the PC.  They 
> certainly didn't WANT to produce a weak, overpriced, under-powered computer
> with a toy operating system which was behind the times before its time.

> They just DID!

Then how do you explain OS/2?
