- [Stuff about cost of WinNT deleted...]
- Do you think MS are a bunch of bozos? Come on- these people know marketing
- to a T. They are well aware of how badly (and why) OS2 is doing, and don't
- you think they'll make sure the same thing doesn't happen to them? Once
- WinNt comes up, IBM will immediately say how OS2 does all WinNT does for
- much cheaper. MS will counter by
- a) probably lowering price,
- b) making deals to get it preinstalled on lots of machines.
-
- MS are driven by a desire to make money more then anything else. They will
- do whatever it takes to make NT a success.
