OS/2 Warp 3.0 is doing *very* well in the market place. The posts seen 
here about shops being sold out in minutes - all over the place - bear this
out. 

There is nothing I am aware of to support your assertion to the contrary, other
than a couple of magazines who have obvious and long-standing biases in
favour of Microsoft operating systems and applications. The press is very
positive. Outside the US it is even better - where few read PC Mag or PC 
Week.
