Ah, but how well does it run on my Super-Yanqui 33MHz 80486 clone with the
RAM-Zap 1280x1024x256 color video card, the Really Scuzzy hard disk and
interface card, with Joe's Live Bait and Printers 7000 DPI laser printer?

In other words, how do we get it to run on non-IBM hardware, and will they
support same?  IMHO, I think not.

And really, I am not abusing (nor am I embracing) OS/2 2.0, just being a
careful consumer.  As another post stated, let's wait and see.
