- OS/2 2.1 is being discussed today in c.o.os2.advocacy - it is scheduled for
- release in late Feb/early March (pre-Comdex). The Service Pack is
- _already_out! 1-800-3IBMOS2 to order ($25, 14 disks).
- It is not 'golden' (a perfect release), there are known bugs already.
- It is faster in several ways, includes the 32-bit graphics engine, and
- includes the *beta* Windows3.1 code (which has been known to cause a few
- glitches).
