Whoa -  The past week's news has certainly been exciting, but let's
not get carried away.   From what I've been able to discern, OS/2
2.0 is far from done.  Many of the latest features have not yet been
integrated into a single package.  For last week's demo, several
separate systems were used to demonstrate the various new and
exciting features because there's not yet a single copy of OS/2 that
has them all.  First word was that those who attended the NYC
presentation were given a copy of OS/2 2.0 to take with them.  Then
it turned out that the boxes contained a blank manual and the
recipients were told to contact their IBM rep for the program (this
posted on IBM's Atlanta BBS).  If I were a betting man, I'd wager
that OS/2 2.0 will ship in 1991 the same way that OS/2 1.3 shipped
in 1990, which is to say nominally.
