You've just put your finger on the reason for OS/2 anything.
Your friend should also buy some stock in IBM. He has seen the light.

You gotta keep those pesky competitors out there in the cold.

PS there should be some additional vendors supporting OS/2 eventually, but I 
don't know about Presentation Manager 1.1. Isn't that a straight IBM product 
that only knows about IBM hardware?
