Official date is sometime in 4th quarter of 1991.

I saw a summary of the OS/2 2.0 demo, and apparantly the demo floored
most people who were there.  It was *very* impressive.  The upgrade is
nothing more than what you read in the advertisement.

BTW, "SE" stands for "Standard Edition"; there's also the "EE" ==  "Extended
Edition".  The EE comes with a *really* fancy Communications program,
a *really* fancy database package, and I believe also a LAN client package
to be used with the (sold separately) LAN Server package.
