- I don't expect IBM to pay for my Windows 3.1 when they include it with 2.1.
- And I don't expect to get every functional improvement they will make to
- OS/2 for free. But I sure _DO_ expect to get bug fixes or CSD's for free
- (electronically). There are some pretty big bugs in 2.0 XR06055 and I expect
- them to get fixed.
-
- If they give me more functionality, I will pay for it. But what I already have
- payed for, I expect to work.
