A recent article in InformationWeek regarding alternative
desktop operating systems sites Dataquest forseeing only
60,000 units of OS/2 shipping in the year 2000.
The big question is: Does IBM agree with this figure and
the others presented, or does IBM wish to offer counter
market research?

"That is far better than OS/2 Warp shipments on the
desktop, which Dataquest predicts will shrink to 760,000 in
1998, down from 1.3 million last year. Dataquest analysts
add that OS/2 Warp desktop shipments will fall to a
minuscule 60,000 units in the year 2000. In contrast,
Dataquest sees shipments of Macs holding steady at about
2.9 million per year over the next two years." (From the
second page.)
