> The question here is whether Autodesk would be wise to make 3DSr"5"
compatible with BOTH [NT and OS/2] rather than locking it into one. <
Have you considered the possibility that the economics of supporting a second
OS may not be fiinancially viable? The expense of development efforts (both
1st and 3rd), customer service, documentation, and quality assurance more than
double when adding a second OS because of the extra task of insuring parallel
operability of the application versions. What about cross-network
compatibility? There is another can of worms.
