In today's Wall Street Journal IBM had an advertisement for OS/2 v1.3 SE
(being a DOS/Windows person I don't know what SE is, anyone know?) for
only $150 ($99 if you own IBM DOS) AND MORE IMPORTANTLY a free upgrade to
OS/2 v2.0 when it is released (if before next year). 

Apparently, this new OS/2 will run Windows software and DOS and OS/2 apps
all at once. This is all exactly what I would like so I can move to
OS/2 easily.  HOWEVER, I wonder just really when is it expected that
OS/2 v2.0 will be released. Does anyone have a good educated guess?

IBM is supposedly showing OS/2 v2.0 at PC EXPO (June 25-27 [that's today!
]. Has anyone heard anything from there about the current state of this
exciting new upgrade.

Thanks in advance.
