Home users do care about their security, how would you like your HD
formatted each time you used IE or NS to see some website?

If the reality I am pointing out is flaming you, then you have
unfinished business to do with IBM. Don't blame the messenger, besides,
feedback is the only thing that could couse improvement of the OS/2
situation.

You mean I am not lying my head off to make people buy into OS/2 and be
unhappy about the crap they got, yes Sir. I don't want to be
responsible for unhappines based on my advise. Unlike some advocates,
my word stands for its consulting value to customers. I won't sacrify
myself so that IBM can continue its dead end course with OS/2.
Besides, Jesus told us not to lie. It is for a good reason. There is a
thin line between advocacy and lying.
