   This is not true.  I've installed Warp twice so far (doing it again 
tomorrow), one install had Windows, the other did not.  OS/2 doesn't
need to have DOS or Windows installed either before you start or when
you get done.

   This would be Enterprise and it has absolutely nothing to do with
Microsoft.  Enterprise (the version in the blue box) contains, to the
best of my knowledge, the same type of performance enhancements and
bonus pack goodies that are in Warp.  The only difference is that this
version comes with its own Windows, while Warp relies on your existing
copy of Windows (if you even want Windows stuff).  The only reason it's
waiting for next year is that it's not feasible to upgrade 2.1 (to
produce Enterprise) _while you're trying to get Warp out._

   So, Warp (red) is available now and Enterprise (blue) will be ready
early next year.  If you have Windows already, you're quite welcome to
use it with Warp.  If you don't have Windows, no sweat.  If you're going
to wait for the upcoming Enterprise and you don't want Windows, don't
install the Win-OS2 support.  [Note that there's not much sense in waiting
for Enterprise if you don't want Windows since Enterprise's built-in
Windows is the only substantive difference between the two.]

   Hope that helps.
