An interesting quotation from newsgroup comp.os.research:

I just got back from 4 weeks in Japan and the general impression I got

the ICOT Fifth Generation Project which was going to revolutionize
computing.  If you want an operating system that is full of vitality and
has a great future, use OS/2.
