- Just as a piece of info:
- I called IBM support this morning and had a very nice chat with them.
- I was told that the "UPGRADE" (not CSD!) should be out later this month
- or early October. The lady said that it could be out as early as a week
- from now! She also gave me a list of some of the stuff that was included.
- -32 bit HPFS
- -32 bit Graphics Engine
- -Seamless SVGA support
- -Win 3.1 support
- -etc.
-
- I was interested that she said they are calling this an upgrade an not an
- CSD. In the same breath she also said that the 1.3 people recieved a free
- *UPGRADE* to 2.0....Hmmm She had no knowlege of the FTP suff.....
