Interesting interview with Bill Gates on the whole OS/2 debacle in

Dang! THAT'S why the air was all swirly and sparkly when I
opened the cover... stuck in the TIme Warp!

Seriously, in case you haven't been paying attention for
the last several decades, magazines do this so that the
ones sold off the newsstand appear to be current, and
thus easier to sell, well past the actual printing date.
Not too interesting any more!
