In fact, it would be an ideal starting point for them; the graphics are fast and stable, it's well supported and freely available for many graphics cards, and it doesn't cost them a penny. As for OS/2 based X clients, I'd rather not xterm everything (like linux), we could keep the PM look without the PM SIQ problem. Sincerely, Benjamin Romer
