I'll answer that question: it's EASY!

Because, Jon, no one really _expects_ Microsoft to be _honest_ about their
motives.

IBM, on the other hand ... we've come to expect nothing but the best from
them.

(see OS/400 versus ANYTHING ELSE for a proof-of-concept)

 >> and i was somewhat offended at ibm's attitude if you wanted their p/c
development products you had to switch to os/2.

Why aren't you offended by MS not porting to other platforms? MS publicly
promised to port many tools to OS/2 when sales reached a million - sales
went
way past that figure MS never ported a thing.  IBM on the other hand ported
many
tools to Windows once 95 was available (after all Windows 3.1 was hardly an
OS)
