- Looks like IBM & Novell are going to get together BIG TIME! Nobody wants
- a product that is incompatable, especially purposely so, so everybody will
- toss Dos 6.0 off to the side, and move to Dr. Dos 7 instead anyways.. And
- you can be darn sure to *bet* that it's going to be fully compatable with
- OS/2, and then some. Microsoft is just stabbing themselves in the back with
- non-standards of Dos 6, W4W, and NT! Any company with that attitude allready
- knows that they are in some *serious* trouble, and they probably won't be
- around for very long anyways.. :) How nice.. Imagine.. A world without
- Microsoft.. Doesn't it sound pleasant?
