[John Sandercock]

 I'm not sure this sentence tells the whole story.

<quote>However, IBM made a monumental error of judgment and timing
when the IBM Marketing Director over the Grass Roots Marketing
Department made the decision to meet his headcount cut targets by
eliminating the entire department - one week before the 1995 Fall
Comdex. </quote>

OTOH, the article is about Team OS/2 and not about the illegal
competition in the OS market in the mid-1990's that might have induced
IBM to make such a decision.
