~> Actually, you're ALMOST right. Aparently, MS was pretty worried about ~> Win-95 last year. -> No, they weren't :-). Considering IBM was "braggging" about 1M units of Warp since ship, and MS was shipping 2.8M units *a month*, I don't think anyone was losing any sleep. They *are* still worried about OS/2 in the corporate arena, tho... ->...because a friend of mine who works there brought home a ~> nice little toy - MS Office for OS/2. Let me tell you - That's a NICE ~> product! The way it should be: MS makes great apps, but can't do shit ~> for an OS - they oughtta just make their killing on apps for someone ~> else's OS. ~ No, he didn't - there's no such animal. MS only makes Word 1.0 and Excel 4.0 for OS/2 1.x, and they've never been updated with no stated plans to do so. Office would also include PowerPoint, which has never been available for OS/2.
