@lispi314 @ezio @devious Let's not oversimplify, there were a lot of technical unforced errors on IBM's part, development tools cost a fortune relative to the small market, commercial vendors had better prospects with Windows even *before* Windows 3.0, and the community pretty much carried the entire platform during the 90s so once IBM stabbed them in the back they jumped ship to Linux en masse (similar stories can also be heard for BeOS and AmigaOS, among others)
