" You seem to keep forgetting the word "desktop" UNIX isn't a desktop OS unless you're talking engineering workstations. Typical business apps don't need UNIX." There's a fine line between "desktops" and "workstations" now, they getting fairly close. (We had a "desktop" that outperformed our "workstation" by a good margin.) "OS/2 is DOA at *most* large companies." I think your wrong on that. I know of several that were OS2 to begin with, and stayed, and I know of some that converted to OS/2 in the last 2 months. " As a matter of fact, I saw an interesting quote in PC Week (or Info World) a few weeks ago (and nothing to dispute it in later editions)." Those two mags are pure Windows pablum, and I don't trust what either says. "IBM has stated they will NOT make another Intel version of OS/2. Warp and the NetWork Edition are it. " This was publiched in Infoworld, as well as, a euro mag. IBM responded to that article, you just probably didn't see the response. I read it in a couple of different places, but I didn't save the text. btw, the source that the euro mag quoted was a person closely connected with MS. I wish I wouldn't have pruned my AP log 2 days ago. 🙁 I know personally, of at least 3 different versions based on this "level" of code, and I know they are working on another "level" (Warp 4.0) "Here in Denver (only 125 miles South of you)." Actually, it's only 99 miles, but who's counting. 🙂 "It has very little corporate penetration." Check the banks. 🙂 "Talking to places like CompUSA (their government sales office, not their retail operation)…they sell next to no OS/2." Have they tried? (No) Bob Comer — Cheyenne, WY USA Team OS/2
