I'm not sure if the article had a point, or if it was just scattered fragments of thoughts.

Regardless, I always felt that the death of OS/2 came later, and was due to IBM's inability or unwillingness to market their products. "We're IBM! People will flock to us and wait for our release schedule!" But it didn't happen, and they lost all of their momentum.
