    See, anyone who has a rudamentiry understand of computers...  I didn't say
*I* couldn't get it multi-tasking.  I could if I wanted to.  I don't want to.
Because even the most die-hard Windows people, except those who don't have a
clue on how the OS works, will admit OS/2 multi-tasks better!

    Assuming it has?  OS/2 installs have topped 6 million, most of those are
one flavor or another of Warp.  I doubt if 12% of those people have called in.

    It is when that product is not even close to being ready.  It is called
announcing it early for the sole purpose of having people wait to see what
will come in the 'new' version instead of switching to another product.  There
are recorded instances of Microsoft doing this with some of its suite of
applications as well.  The DoJ slapped them for that as well.
