Is the world ready for a bare-metal OS/2 rebirth?

Oh happy memories!

Just booted up my old 1997 Pentium 4 128Mb OS/2 Warp 4. Still boots in under a minute. Seeing that old familiar destop and realizing how ahead of it's time it was - Never crashed, speech recognition as standard, 4 virtual desktops, system restore, high security ring zero virus protection operating system - and almost as fast as my todays Windows 10 I5 2.4 4GB laptop. I wonder what it would OS/2 would have become if IBM had continued development. Trouble with IBM was that they were brilliant at technology but useless at marketing - the exact opposite of MS.
