- Re: Gateway bundles DOS/Win, not OS/2.

- Well, it's not as if MS is clean in this numbers game - how about the
- zillions of Win copies apparently gathering dust in Egghead stores? They
- get added in to that marvelous MS total too. Ok, they were "sold" to
- Egghead, but if they languish on shelves (and Egghead seems disappointed
- with 3.1 sales, so apparently they are) then it doesn't signify, at least
- for me. And of course, the real nub - use level, which is very difficult
- to estimate for either Win or OS/2, so speculate you heart out.
-
- Plus, Gateway may not put OS/2 on, but Dell does. And I wonder how long
- it will be before Gateway does... my guess is that most clone shops will
- be offering OS/2 bundled by early next year.
