Point in case is that as micro-computers and desktops become more powerful,
a better operating system would be needed... OS/2 is much too system
specific to really become popular...  Unix easily portable and with some mods
can be installed on just about any system with the capabilities to do so...
Another thing is, OS/2 is not a fairly programmer friendly environment...
MS-DOS will inevitably fall away because of it's incapability to multi-task.
As long as CBM keeps coming out with improvements on there OS, it would be
a great OS for a computer with it's power.   As far as the Machintosh is 
concerned... well...  we won't get into that.
