Nader on OS/2

Post by jdm7dv »

"This one comes from the wacky files: Consumer advocate Ralph Nader is calling on IBM to release the source code for its OS/2 operating system sothat users will have a "viable" alternative to Windows. Nader, who knowsas much about computers as I do about Corvairs, seems to think that IBMcan follow Netscape's lead and gain back marketshare by giving away itstechnological crown jewels. IBM, which once positioned OS/2 as a "betterWindows than Windows," has since backed off on promoting the operatingsystem as sales fell through the floor. At this time, it's not compatiblewith any Windows operating system made after 1991"
