I'd buy it -- IF Ardi was commited to doing the port.
As for concerns of Ardi being overloaded, that sounds like a management
decision.
If they can't do it, they can't. It doesn't mean I'm going to roll over
and buy Executor now just because they can't make an OS/2 version right
now.
I wouldn't buy a Pentium if Compaq didn't sell Pentium Pros either -- I
know what I need, and will wait till it is available or find another way
to fill that need. This is not an insult or confrontation of Ardi --
what they have is indeed amazing -- but it's a statement of facts from my
own point of view.
