JG Or would you call OS/2 a rewrite of Windows 3.0?
They was developed simultaneously and MS promise for IBM that Windows
will be separate, noncompeting product (note: OS/2 was preemptive
multitasking OS from scratch, Windows was only graphical shell at top of
DOS). But later MS drops (don't know proper English criminal terminology
here) its participation in OS/2 developmment, breaks its other relations
with IBM (Gates himself says that he make management training for working
without IBM before he drop the IBM) and begins its evoltion of Windows into
full featured OS, which (as thinked in MS) should compete with OS/2.
