We've been hearing rumors like this for some time, however, MS is now
releasing all three platforms (OS/2, Windows, and Mac) simultaneously.
No more Windows first stuff.  Unfortunately, that doesn't mean *real*
OS/2 apps or just Windows ports.  Anyone from MS want to comment on
what is really being affected?
