- Hmm, so March to December is "a couple of months" is it?
-
- Advocates here talk about the new features OS/2, but I think it will take IBM
- a while to get them ready if it takes them 8 months to simply update an
- existing bit of OS/2 code. After all, advocates keep saying that Windows 3.1
- is just a bug fix. So why has it taken IBM 8 months to apply a few bug fixes?
-
- Besides, "the latest version of Windows" is Windows NT. Will OS/2 have NT
- support two or three months after NT is released?
