I think that this isn't accurate. Even the latest version of OS/2, Warp 4.0, includes Win-OS/2. You're probably right about that. I think that there may have been a point where they either couldn't or wouldn't ship the version with the Windows code included, and you had to feed it your Windows disks to get it to work. (I know that they always had such a version but I thought that they stopped selling the bundled version for a while). Tugging at the threads of this memory, I think it may have had something to do with the fact that IBM didn't have the rights to anything beyond Win 3.1 and that this was their way around it. But perhaps whatever the problem was got resolved.
