-
- IBM may charge for future upgrades to OS/2, their policy isn't set yet.
- The reason that all upgrades have been free up to now is that they are
- a very customer oriented company, and until they get a product out to a
- customer that is worth the customers money, they'll fix it. With OS/2 2.0
- they did that, the CSD or whatever is going to be free, unlike microsloths
- bug fixes, but all future upgrades probably won't be free.
-
- However, OS/2 with WPS beats macs user interface, and offers a nice OS for
- the power user.
-
- For more info, follow the OS/2 newsgroups.
