IBM and Microsoft agree in August 1985 to produce the OS/2 operating system for IBM's PS/2 PC. Meanwhile, Microsoft continues working on its Windows product and releases Windows 3.0 in 1990. Windows' ensuing popularity over OS/2 prompts Microsoft to end the OS/2 agreement with IBM. OS/2 eventually fades away. IBM announces that sales of OS/2 will officially end on December 23, 2005.
