- Gee. Wasn't this the same time when MS was officially stating that it
- would be out in the first quarter? From the article, Gates was saying that
- it might not ship until the 2nd quarter but at the same time, MS said they
- are slipping only one quarter. Does this mean that the official MS release
- dates really don't mean anything? Could MS be using a sliding release date
- to keep business from their competition??? Nah, it couldn't be that.

- I guess I don't see what I have to apologies about. I have been trying to
- track the release of both OS/2 and NT on publically stated release dates.
- Anything else seem to start a flame war (however, I guess even official
- date seem to be up for interpretation).
