For those scratching their heads (as I was initially), this seems to be a random memo from the people that worked/architected/strategized/marketed OS/2 and/or Windows, within Microsoft. They are discussing how to better compare and contrast OS/2 and Windows, to their own (OS/2) advantage. I'm not sure why this is an important memo, or what significance it has?
