Do people just like to use the "holy war" metaphor? 'cause I've read some
history - this ain't anything like one. More like a populist smack-down of the
oligarchs than a holy war.
And comparing OS/2 & Linux? Pleeeeze. Linux had more marketshare three years
ago than OS/2 ever had. And today? OS/2 could only ever dream about these kind
of penetration numbers.
