SS HAS the right to change the underlying OS/2. It has done that by 
replacing the multimedia system, inserting ntfs.ifs in base install, 
extending the WPS in default, replacing Netscape with Mozilla,....

There are lots of changes still outstanding. OS/2 gets renovated step 
by step.In eCS 1.0 it was the desktop, in 1.1 it was mainly only 
reinforcing something, in 1.2 a new multimedia subsystem to increase 
the usabiltiy. IBM itself will only make maintenance but brings 
nothing new.

eCS 2.0 will come with the ability to boot from JFS - OS/2 can't.
