- What I believe is that no code is not rewritable to have the same
- interface. The problem of OS/2's drivers turns out to be Microsoft's
- ownership of those driver sources. This is unimaginable, especially for
- a big company like IBM. Maybe I am too naive (or too stupid) to say the
- above words. But, anyone from IBM can give the reason why, after near 8
- months, IBM still has to deal with the driver source code with
- Microsoft?
