They bet on it for a short while, but I was referencing the fact that they hopped ship and OS/2 continued under IBM for years. OS/2 Warp, continuing to run in ATM machines, the community wanting to continue OS/2, etc. It did eventually die, but it maintained a life well after MSFT decided to move on.
