From: "William F. Zachmann" 

Joe,

Looks a lot like "deja vu all over again" to me.  That list would
have done just fine for OS/2 ca. 1992/93 or thenabouts as well.

Whether you believe it or not, I really do not have anything against Linux,
but I *AM* struck by the remarkable similarities between the situation of
Linux today and that of OS/2 in the early '90s.

Perhaps it will turn out differently this time, but I do not yet see any
very compelling reasons (unless one just happens to hate BillG & Co.)
to expect that it will.

All the best,

will
