As for trying to sell a "better Windows than Windows", look where that strategy got IBM with OS/2.

Good point. There are, however, some differences.

-OS/2 did not start from a position of technical superiority (it didn't have a GUI when it was first released!).
-No installed user base.
-No apps.

The other alternative, which is to continue along its propietary, highly differentiated path hasn't worked either.

By the time Warp was released it was too late.
