Basicly what Windows NT (at least originaly) was supposed to be before Microsoft decided that they would rather make the new OS alone. A lot of the preliminary design for OS/2 thus made its way into NT altough, of course, the finished products are very diffrent.
The thing that killed it except for some very specific aplications is Windows 95 since they introduced 32-bit windows programs that didn't work on OS/2 and were a smashing sucsess (OS/2 had support for 16-bit programs which ran on Win 3.1x). It managed to survive in the buissness world for a while (it ran the IT infrastructure during the 1996 olympics iirc), but by now it essentialy died out (there are a couple of thousand still active computers running it, which is essentialy 0% compared to the entire market). From what I heard from some of the users of it, it was rather more difficult to use compared to Windows, and while it had a couple of features which were better, overall they feel it was inferior.
P.S. a lot of this is pretty rough, I'm working from memory, its possible small errors crept in.
