I recently read a history of OS/2.  It was claimed that the major reason 
that OS/2 failed was because it was written by develepors *for* 
end-users, while most other pieces of software were written mainly by 
the people who used them -or- written based on specific consumer 
requests.  It seems to me that this is the way most of the people here 
are thinking.
