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.
