OS/2 is 0% M$, IBM did do a little deal with C= so they got some multitasking kernal help and Commodore got AREXX in return.


I don't know where you got your information from, but that's not anywhere close to being true.

Wikipedia corroborates Commodore licensing Amiga technology in exchange for REXX, but it doesn't say whether any of the AOS code actually made it into OS/2 or not. In any case, certainly Microsoft was involved.


Commodore didn't get REXX from IBM. ARexx was a commercial product by William Hawes that they licensed for inclusion into AmigaOS 2.0.
