You know, I saw that item Dave, and took it to mean that sales had declined. 
Thanks for pointing that out! 

I'm astonished at their dishonesty!

(Folks, we're talking about page 52 of PC Week.)

'Course, one explanation can be found on the pp 40-41 spread...

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.

Network Transformations


"Reinventing the wheel" does not translate into the language of network
computing. In the personal computing world of the past, there was often
the rush to throw out existing operating systems and applications at 
the hint of a new product announcement. But this is not what the 
Java-driven network computing model of the future is about. It's about
"connecting the wheels" to build a bigger, more functional business 
machine -- without the sacrifice of crucial time and money.

We know this can be accomplished: We've made these new types of network
connections with OS/2. We have major customers who run their businesses
and develop applications on this platform. The recent introductions of 
a faster and more tightly woven JVM and the WorkSpace On-Demand 
thin-client make OS/2 a formidable network computing and Java 
development platform.

The transformation of OS/2 is beneficial to everyone up and down the IT
totem pole. Developers have the freedom to create and deploy new Java
applications across diverse clients and servers, and the IT managers 
can better manage and distribute their data. This is a pretty good deal 
-- Java enables new connectivity and business opportunities by building
on existing investments.

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.
