Thus, Windows 3.x won this fight, even though OS/2 was already a full 32-bit operating system, with a DOS-emulation that was so good that it was actually possible to run Windows 3.x within OS/2; called Win-OS/2. There were even versions of OS/2 in which Windows 3.x was included by default.

OS/2 was a much more powerful operating system than Windows; OS/2 2.1 in 1993 was most of what Windows NT became in 1996.
