Default Microsoft designed/programmed V2.0



A prime argument here is 32-bit OS/2 is superior to windows (inferring


discussed for about 100 messages, that is Microsoft was contracted by
IBM to design/code the first OS/2 v2.0 (some here still dont believe
MS
was contracted the same way to design/code OS/2 V1.0)

I proved it by posting a copy of the DEC'89 MS press release
announcing the OS/2 V2.0 SDK from Microsoft..

Why everyone here believes the super-duper MS designers that designed
OS/2 1.0 and 2.0 could not improve on their OS/2 design efforts 4 yrs
later with
1993 Windows NT v3.31 or with the ultimate in Warp-Killer designs,
Windows 95 (released believe it or not in 1995, to the sorrow of all
fanatics here).

They still insist OS/2 WARP is a superior design which is beyond all
rational comprehension..

Likely it is Microsoft, from the Redmond campus, but not a "grave" as
indicatd in the file name. In the NBC news special 'Tycoon' (1995),
about Bill Gates, a many segments taped at the Redmond Campus (who can
forget Steve Balmer's rallying cry for innovation at a meeting; "Take
all their good ideas and make them *our* good ideas"). It included a
shot of an outside walkway with similar "plaques", akin to the Hollywood
Walk of Fame, but featuring product names. IIRC, the OS/2 plaque was
visible in that shot ... and this is what it looks like to me.
