Well... That is great, but when will we see it? MS constantly tell us
that the future is a week away and then postpones the release date. I
am not a fan of Big Blue, but O/S 2.0 is here, now.
I have been hearing that NT is the best thing since the 8088 for about as
long as the 8088 has been around. Will MS ever stop playing with the
market?
I have heard that MS salespeople are not to even mention O/S 2, are they
afraid?
Hey isn't this the comp.os.linux conf.?
