- What I'm hearing a lot of is "OS/2 takes too much space, I'll just
- wait for NT." And also: "NT will free us from DOS, who cares if
- it doesn't run a lot of DOS programs, we are going to have to give
- up DOS anyway." Then they turn around and bash OS/2 because it doesn't
- run Enhanced mode programs.
