** 
**Even Ziff-Davis is back with its _unique_ OS/2 slant.
**In a chart accompanying an article titled "IBM Pushes Java Growth",
**they have the axis flipped so that anyone skimming the article would
**see a _decrease_ in Warp Server installations with time.

Ziff-Microsoft has started publishing FUD about Linux and how it
cannot compare to NT. It looks like they see Linux as a threat, and
OS/2 as dead, dead, dead, and I think they are right :(

I do love OS/2 and will hang in forever, but it looks as it doesn't
even rate 'needs to be killed' by Ziff-M$ much anymore.

OTOH, it is almost time for W98, so everything is gonna get blasted by
the M$ press machine.
