 what do you think? more WARP users? or another total number of users?

i agree. and i would say, that most of the 2.1 copies are NOT more in use.

EQ: I my environment my major customers are running some 10.000 OS/2
workstations.(2.x) Last week the total number was about 200. and this
customer told me he will also change to NT ASAP. ALL my customers changed
to NT in the last 6 month or WILL change to NT in the next months. 

Austrian telecom (OS/2 2.1 user with some 1000 OS/2 workstations) changes
to NT at this moment.

and and and. 

IMO 80% of these 6M OS/2 2.1 customers are NOT more IBM customers anymore.

 WARPED!, Mario
