> We do not see any market for OS-2 products. I'm glad you're not doing my market analysis. From where I stand, my product is much more important than any OS. My job as a software developer is to make the best product I can, and that means I use the best platform available. If my product costs $3000, will a user mind if he has to spend another $100 on an OS? No way! 3DS isn't a program that you run alongside 1-2-3 and Wordstar. 3DS "owns" the machine it runs on, so why should it have to suffer with an OS that isn't the best? Examine the features of each OS, and if there's one that can give significant advantage to your app (and thereby, to your customers), develop under that platform. Your customers will appreciate the benefits you have given them.
