- Since I wrote the original, I am not a great confirmation. However, I
- quote from the November 2, 1992 issue of Information Week, page 12, 2nd
- column, first paragraph (without permission of course). The quoted article
- is a story about the Windows demo Bill Gates did on Broadway.
-
- "Right now, however, NT is struck in rehearsal. It was originally
- scheduled for the end o this year and now is slated for mid-1993. The
- delay has given rivals such as IBM's OS/2 a substantial head start (see
- accompanying story at right)."
