However, another underlying goal was to demonstrate to IBM that Microsoft was ahead of the curve on 32-bit design

The FOOTBALL prototype was based on pre-1.0 OS/2 sources, and the only hardware it supported was the Compaq DeskPro
386-16. The source code was later sent to IBM, who in early April 1987 was adapting it to run on the Model 80 PS/2.
