IBM's half-assed and schizoid development and support is what kills OS/2. And before you reach for the OS/2 Basher bat, I was a passionate supporter of Warp 4... and watched in horror as Big Blue's on-again/off-again support shredded the small market share they'd earned. Had IBM truly stood behind it, they would still have a chunk of the market; as it stands now there're still a few diehards, but they're dwindling.
Sad, too, as it was a solid OS.
As for Apple, and Jobs' announcement... as someone who was converted to Macdom a few years ago, I can't help but worry that OS X will end up as legacy-crippled as Windows has. *shrug* In the end, the next time I buy, I'll go with what does the job most efficiently... though I really wish it were going to be a PPC machine.
