How IBM's 5150 PC shaped the computer industry

There is a little OS/2 mention there:

"Later that decade, as the PC industry began to take shape, IBM recognized the importance of controlling the operating system. It developed OS/2, the next-generation operating system with Microsoft. At the same time, Microsoft was developing a rival operating system called Windows. The partnership fractured in 1990 and Microsoft's Windows went on to dominate the PC operating system business. Those early IBM decisions--particularly opting for a third-party operating system and ultimately choosing Microsoft's PC-DOS rather than DRI's CP/M--ultimately played a huge role in shaping the computer industry today."
