It's hard to believe, but consumer advocate Ralph Nader is 
championing OS/2 as an alternative to Windows and has 
written a public letter to Louis Gerstner (CEO of IBM) 
asking that he release the OS/2 source code to the public.  
You can read about it in Mary Jo Foley's article at zdnet:

The actual text of the letter can be seen at:

Now, as OS/2 users we know that IBM will not release the 
OS/2 source due to its use with their major customers, but 
perhaps a little pressure right now will change the course 
of OS/2's future.  You can always send Mr. Gerstner your 
own feedback at:
