- There is no double standard. Let us review what was said a few
- weeks ago (or so).
-
- It is okay to talk about a current product.
- It is okay to talk about a future product.
- It is okay to compare a current product with another current product.
- It is okay to compare a future product with another future product.
- It is *not* okay to compare a current product with a future product.
-
- Examples:
- Okay -> What features does OS/2 2.0 have now?
- What OS/2 programs are available now?
- Okay -> What features will OS/2 2.0 have in the update?
- What OS/2 programs will there be in September?
- Okay -> Lets compare OS/2 2.0 with DOS 5.0 + Windows 3.1!
- Okay -> Lets compare portable OS/2 with NT!
- Not Okay -> Lets compare current OS/2 2.0 with future NT!
