Take a look at your IBM argument IBM has no desktop OS, they use WinXX. Does that stop them from selling computers? Similarly when they want to sell a department level server do they care which NOS goes on it? IBM has already made the decision to go with NT. It was quoted here most recently by me and some time ago by Joe. So what is the logic of your argument, that IBM should give up server sales to protect OS2? I don't think so. Incidentally, name the OS the HP sells? Or does HP care as long as it moves boxes.
