That's when M$ started applying the pressure to make IBM choose, OS/2 or
Win95.  And IBM chose Win95.  Hard for them not to.

It might have been true until Win95 was released (heck, debatably after 95
was released).

Of course... it probably depended on number of computers running the OS being
the metric...  Cause *nix boxen (and/or big iron) probably were more "popular"
user base wise, but generally you had many users for one machine =)
