Why os/2 site mentions Microsoft? When os/2 users will stop thinking about Windows and "look into own plate"? |

| IBM problems led to IBM compatible clones. Perhaps MS problems will mean more choices of OS (which could having OS/2-eCS has one of the choices?)?

I think that Microsoft is losing market share in it's dominance of the browser market. The ever increasing down loads of the Firefox browser by the Windows masses is a sure sign of this. Though I am sure that my web site visitors are not typical, my visitors are using Internet Explorer about 49% of the time followed by the great Opera browser at about 22% and Firefox at about 13%. These figures are typical for my web site. Below are the percentage figures from my web host's Apache AWstats program from April 1, 2005 through April 20, 2005: MS Internet Explorer --- 49.7 % Does anyone else care to post their visitors browser percentage figures from their web site? Best, RadarCat

| MS problems could mean an opportunity for other operating systems. ReactOS - a WinNT clone that is open source - is gaining popularity. It could mean an opportunity for eComStation (when ODIN is able to handle most Win software).

| The article fails on facts. People in IBM responsible for development , tell story after story of Microsoft not getting the job done. We know now that it had nothing to do with the size of IBM or M$, but rather the that gates did not want to see OS2 finished or working as planned. |

Well, here is the stats for OS2 World; guess that it will not reflect real life but I'll find some stats from another site as well.- Firefox 1.x (43%) |
