4. The demos of OS/2 were excellent, crashing the system had the intended effect -- to FUD OS/2 2.0. People paid attention to the demo and were often supprised to our favor. Steve positioned it as --OS/2 not "bad" but that from a performance and "robustness" standpoint, it is NOT better than Windows. We know the design point, we know what's in it.

Forrester Research is publishing a bullitin tomorrow that says "Ballber exploded some"myths" about OS/2: It doesn't run Windows applications presently, it's not bullit proof and dependable -- MS was able to demonstrate several instances of OS/2 crashing!
