Heck, back when OS/2 was a Microsoft product, they waited until those
of us who'd shelled out $3000 for the software developers kit to start
talking publically about a class action suit to get our money back
before they even deigned to ship us the second PRE RELEASE of the
SDK!  OS/2 1.0 itself was quite a bit later.  It wasn't until MS was
out of the picture that I started feeling more confident about
OS/2...
