Article Abstract:

The microcomputer industry moved in many directions in 1992. The software segment saw tough competition between operating systems, as Microsoft Corp released Windows 3.1 and IBM introduced OS/2 version 2.2. With the exception of these new releases, the software arena produced disappointing products, such as the Window-based Lotus 1-2-3 and Wordperfect. The hardware segment, meanwhile, was rocked by Compaq's price reductions and product releases.
