True, but I still see more than a few posters that are still running
either warp 3 or warp 4 fp 15 or less that are wary of upgrading. Some
just cannot afford it and that's Ok. But my opinion is OS/2 must have
sales to survive unless it goes open source. I don't see that
happening. I purchased a new license rather than upgrade, so I now have
an ECS and a warp 4 license. I am planning on upgrading the warp 4
license after I recover from the last. That's my little investment.
Hope it lasts. That other software company made it's billions by
getting lots to buy theirs over and over and over and over again. How
many versions of windows has the average windows users purchased I
wonder?
