   I didn't realize IBM's fix packs were not cumulative like Windows. =
Maybe my memory is failing but I thought I had applied them that way.

  You have missed my point of the difference between 15 fixpacks that =
all have to be installed one after the other or one service pack that's = a
cumulative patch and doesn't require previous service packs to be =
installed.

  Or did you miss my point? Are you saying the difference was even =
bigger?

       You are confusion hot fixes and service packs.  OS/2 had both =
just like Windows.

      I mean remember the old days when OS/2 had what 15
      fixpacks and everyone way saying how nice and easy it was for NT =
because all
      you had to do was apply the latest service pack and you were up to =
date?
      What do you think people would have said if OS/2 had 51 fixpacks? =
Course
      that's back when MS actually was listening to customers instead of =
selling
      us out to every corp who want's to exploit us and IBM was ignoring =
us in
      favor of their "we know best, let them eat squatty fonts" =
attitude.

      Funny how things change, isn't it?
