Quite understandable.  All of these "clues" really relate to OS/2 1.X.
I've always believed (or at least fervently hoped) that OS/2 1.X would
fail miserably.  The "Truly Brain Damaged" (TM) nature of the 80286
totally crippled this operating system.

OS/2 2.0 could be a totally different thing.  It's too soon to tell,
since it isn't available yet.
