There was, I seem to recall, a Microsoft ad that
showed a screenshot
of an hourglass cursor and had the blurb of "Something you'll never
see with Windows (some preemptive version)". Yeah, right.
This was a reaction to OS/2 Warp's UK television campaign, which
actively showed people using OS/2 and noticing there was no hourglass
(ie. things just happened whenever you wanted them to). I have a video
of one of the commercials I can make available on youtube or something;
let me know if you'd like to see it.
