All of this political nonsense is without doubt delaying the development of OS/2. I am beginning to question whether I can recommend os/2 for any development work at all. It seems that microsoft's desire to push windows in the near term might just kill what could have become a very good os. There is no doubt that os/2 is the only technically sound operating system for 286/386/486 computers that microsoft makes. -Gary
