- Sorry if someone has posted this information already but I was speaking to our
- local IBM person on friday (11/12/92). She said that the reason that OS/2 2.1
- has been delayed is because there is a fight going on between IBM and
- microsoft. Basically microsoft is trying to force IBM to charge for the next
- update because they recon that in moving to 3.1 code they can charge more.
-
- This stinks but IBM are trying to get it out for a media charge only.
