Os/2
In the land of computers, long ago,
Microsoft and IBM began to sow,
A new operating system, they did create,
OS/2 was its name, oh how it was great!
With Ed Iacobucci leading the way,
OS/2 was born, on that fine day,
It aimed to be protected and secure,
For the Intel 80286, it was the cure.
Similar to MS-DOS, it did appear,
With system calls that were oh so clear,
"Family Mode" apps, it could create,
Working on both systems, it was first-rate.
Developed with care, and money spent,
Up to $990 million, they never relent,
But Windows NT took the market by storm,
OS/2's reign began to transform.
Though technically superior, it couldn't compete,
With Windows 95, it faced its defeat,
IBM bid farewell, on that fateful day,
But OS/2 lives on, in a different way.
