I have said before here, wanna see OS/2?  Get XP...

It's what one might expect since M$ wrote OS/2.
Well, M$ stole OS/2 :)  Remember the OS/2 boot loader error messages in NT?

If OS/2 was so much easier to use than Linux, and OS/2 didn't catch on,
what hope Linux .....

Well actually it did catch on, look at Germany... I have always maintained that IBM dropped "apparent" support for OS/2 simply as a ploy to leave M$ carrying the monopoly <s> Those who knew where could still get updates to OS/2 and you could still buy it if you knew the part number, IBM didn't advertise it. In the meantime, IBM found Linux and didn't look back :>

But that's only the ramblings of a conspiracy theorist from way back :)
