Now why does that not surprise me?
Hopefully they actually support the latest JDK? IBM are a shower of
tossers - with a few geniuses (misplaced) thrown in.
What's the Aurora GUI like? Any "must-have" features in the base OS,
or is it (as I've heard) an incremental upgrade (and Y2K fix) of Warp
4?
I have heard rumours that Brad Wardell & his mob are trying to do a
licence deal with IBM to produce a version of Aurora that OS/2 users
would want. Given their success with WindowBlinds (part of Object
Desktop for Windows) I think this would be a "good thing" - certainly
is for me as when I run Win 95 it looks like a clone of my old Warp4
desktop :-)
