- Is this a foregone conclusion, then, that 2.1 will cost $$?
-
- The overwhelming impression given during the GA promotional
- offer was that IBM had the 3.1 thing in the bag, and it would
- be forthcoming as soon as it was tested. Is it not true that
- IBM licensed the 3.1 code from MS, and provided 3.0 in the GA
- just to get the GA to market while 3.1 frogs were being stomped?
-
- Please, no conjecture or "show me where it says" replies. I
- just want to know some facts.
