Bob, Ummm.. I beta'd 2.0, was a bronze ambassador, I have the freebie
Warp 3.0 (on my shelf), and I currently run 2.1 at work.
You said:
"How did this execellent, true, multi-tasking OS ever..."
(Yeah, you could say the MSFT summary on my page has something to do with that).
How? Well.... Look, let me put is this way.. on Compuserve, there's CANOPUS, on usenet, there's c.o.o.a, and it's "still" going on the holy war).
I'm not in PSP, PCC, or any of those divisions. I'm a consultant in Global Services. Although I agree with you, there is little (I should say "nil") impact anything I could say or do to change that situation.
What I'm doing is waltzing around your question, right <g>. I dunno how. BUT -- an analogy to Novell is striking, isn't it?
Umm... As I said to another <ahem <g>> poster here, I'm out of that holy war.
I look at it this way now. IBM is a 70+ BILLION $ company. They have many other areas for "revenue streams" to fall back on. Novell is dwarfed in comparison to that. They only sell software. So, IBM can absorb it. For now (If MSFT has their way, they will gobble EVERYTHING up).
Novell cannot afford to fall back.
Regards,
Joe...
And yeah, and on this one for sure:
