- Yeah, my IBM buddies say the same. My original point about the CSD being
- free was that IBM is morally obligated to provide the function that was
- originally promised free of charge. That includes Win31 support, the 32
- bit GRE, and probably SVGA support (to make their claim of a "better
- Windows than Windows" true). Beyond that, they have every right to
- charge for additional functionality, such as multi-media support.
-
- I much prefer IBM's upgrade approach to Microsoft's ("you found a bug?
- wait till the next release"), and I hope that they maintain the stream
- of bug fixes on the net and otherways.
