Yes, please.  For heaven's sake, put us out of your misery.

Either:

  1) Show a strong commitment to NeWS with:
     a) Razzle-dazzle NeWS-only value-added products
     b) Fast, robust servers
     c) XNeWS as the defalut window system
     d) A more liberal licensing policy or a free "sample"
        implementation.

 Or

  2) Give up on NeWS entirely.

Maybe IBM can score points with Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt.  You'll
only succeed in driving your customers away.
