- I've read that Microsoft and IBM will not be renewing their
- code cross-licensing agreement when it expires next year, but
- IBM will continue ad perpetuum to have rights to the code for
- Windows 3.0, 3.1, and NT, because they are covered by the
- current licensing agreement. So can we expect Windows NT
- support in OS/2 3.0, when it becomes available next year?
- Obviously, it will require a 486 instead of a 386 and will
- probably have a major upgrade price tag attached to it,
- but you have to look ahead, right? Microsoft has already
- begun work on the Windows 4.0 software to replace Windows NT.
- The pace of change in this market is astounding!
- (All this is, of course, moot if I don't get my Win 3.1
- support on the September CSD...)
