Why bother???  The number is not an 800 number so I would have to pay for
it and  MS is not going to start developing for OS/2 just because a bunch
of people call.  Lets face it, MS is trying to use the popularity of their
applications to stifle OS/2.

If OS/2 supporters really want to help OS/2, BUY OS/2 APPLICATIONS.  Don't
use Windows applications under WinOS2.  If vendor see that writing
applications for OS/2 is profitable, more vendors will develop for OS/2. 
Microsoft because an application powerhouse because they were the only
company developing for Windows.  (Remember, MS and IBM told the world that
Windows was temporary and OS/2 was the long-term direction).  By the time
other companies came out with Windows applications, MS had a very large and
firm marketshare.  If MS is slow in getting out OS/2 apps, they won't have
a large presense in the OS/2 market and that will be Microsoft's loss.
