PIOS in the Press

• In the online discussion forum of Börse Online (German language), the Publishers of Börse Online have written the following article on 21-Aug-97 (directly quoted and translated by PIOS from German):

  Some words first to avoid misunderstandings:
  In BO 35 on page 6 we generally warned against doing IPOs via the Internet. With the exception that one does lay out the advertising pages like PIOS did it (http://www.pios.de). All important information only one click away, added the prospectus signed and sealed - exemplary and recommended!

  What does speak for PIOS:

  1. Compatibility with all important operating systems
  2. The open architecture ensures simple and inexpensive upgrades
  3. PIOS can be called a very innovative enterprise. This is not only shown by the successful IPO via Internet, but also by the long-term strategy to handle advertising, offers, support, and orders via the medium of the future, WWW.

  What you should keep as an afterthought:

  WinTel has gained such a dominance in the meantime, that many people begin worrying, justifiedly.
  The $150 million shares of Apple have demonstrated again, how the "small" can become the playing object of WinTel: 1. Billy-Boy exits again, as soon as the worries for the DOJ are gone and rakes in a fine profit.
  or
  2. Apple innovations don't have to be copied anymore and Microsoft products become familiar on the Apple PCs, thus weakening the good reputation of the Macs in longer terms.

  Though the fighting has just begun:

  Oracle launches VES against ASF
  Sun threatens Microsoft to withdraw the Java license, if there are no JFCs bundled with Windows platforms.
