- I was at the IBM rollout of OS/2 in New York, and several of the
- IBM'ers there, from the top man on down, (you know who), told me
- that any upgrades released during the first year would all be free
- to current users of OS/2, primarily they adopted this policy since
- some of the pieces were not all in place yet.
- This they claimed was unlike Microsoft that always kept you coming
- back for more. Frankly, this was very reassuring. I hope it was not
- mere hype and puffery. It was certainly intended to sell the
- product and clearly told to many attendees. I would be severely
- dissappointed if IBM was not as good as its word.
-
- I would like to hear from any IBM'ers monitoring this news group.
