- All this talk about FUD & Misinformation about OS/2 from Microsoft has
- some NEW Merit!
-
- I Recently talked to a Beta Tester of DOS 6.0. He Runs OS/2 with 2 Hard
- Drives, One FAT, One HPFS. He decided to Install the DOS 6.0 Beta on the FAT
- Partition, and got a Message saying, and I paraphrase:
-
- - OS/2 Detected! Due to the size of OS/2 you may wish to delete your OS/2
- files before installing DOS 6.0 -
-
- His Fat Partition was created by DOS 5.0 and he is running Boot
- Manager. DOS 6.0 Beta either looked at the Boot Manager setup or detected
- HPFS on the D: Drive. In either case he had over 150MB Free on each Partition!
-
- So The next time I hear a Micro$oftie say "IT's IBM spreading FUD not us" The
- DOS 6.0 Beta will immediately come to mind! It's Simply BULLS**T!!!!
-
- I Truely Hope This Beta Tester sends this one to the FTC!!!!
-
- If this type of FUD and intentional Misinformation (apparently sanctioned by
- management at M$ ) continues, the FTC SHOULD!!!! FINE and Split M$!!!
-
- This is intollerable! All of the Posts claiming "Why punish someone for being
- successful?", have no ground in light of this blatent attempt to halt advancement
- of technology!!
-
- Microsoft is doing what it does best, Trying (Lying) to Users of products of a
- competitor!
-
- BTW does anyone know how to Contact the FTC or IBM Lawyers? :)
