Hi!
In the Australian (a national Australian news paper) on the 30th May, there is
an articles about Windows 95 - "Where Gates went wrong". It discusses how
MS may only sell 20 million copies of Win95 in the first 9 months. In the
article, Mr Joachim Kempin (Senior Vice President of Microsoft) says:
"There are difficulties in finding native applications for OS/2...
and Warp is, in fact, a fairly thin layer on top of Windows".
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Since when? Warp doesn't run on top of windows...what is this rubbish?
How can MS get away with saying this in the press?
I am so sick of the FUD in the press. OS/2 doesn't have a chance because
of comments like this in the paper. People believe what they read -
especially when it comes from the lips of MS. How about a letter campaign
to the Australian about this (before next Tuesday's paper)? Does anyone
know if they have an email address?
Jamie
