Nah, no data. Too lazy to dig around. I vividly remember that in my bubble OS/2 was running everywhere. Literally everybody used it, me included. We considered Windows a joke.

But then I remember how OS/2 was dying a slow death while Windows 95 rose.

So yes, an anecdote it is.

Well, I asked, because I'm also too lazy to dig around for data. So, it's hard for me to complain...

IBM did a ton of consumer advertising for OS/2 while Windows 95 was delayed. (There even was an OS/2 Warp college bowl game.) So they moved some copies, but it probably mostly just people like me messing around.
