June 26, 1997
Based on monthly statistics collected recently, the following are the most
visited web pages at IBM:
1. Most popular web page in the entire "ibm.com" domain: Netscape for OS/2
Warp download page at http://www.internet.ibm.com/browsers/netscape/warp.
2. Most popular web page in the "software.ibm.com" domain: OS/2 Warp family
pages, at http://www.software.ibm.com/os/warp (including OS/2 Warp Server link
at http://www.software.ibm.com/os/warp-server).
Also, the OS/2 Warp Device Driver Pack (hosted by service.software.ibm.com)
came in at Number 4 overall.
(Monthly statistics tend to exclude short term "spikes" which might be
associated with special events or promotions, better reflecting web usage
which is both steady and high.)
Clearly OS/2 Warp users represent one of the most Internet-savvy populations
in the world. That shouldn't be surprising, since OS/2 Warp Version 3 (1994)
was the first commercial PC operating system with comprehensive Internet
access built-in, and OS/2 Warp Version 4 is the first commercial PC operating
system with built-in Java.
To continue that leadership, IBM plans several major enhancements later this
year. Netscape will be releasing Netscape Communicator Version 4 for OS/2
Warp. Also, IBM introduces a new Java and web-managed version of TCP/IP for
OS/2 Warp and OS/2 Warp Server (the first of its kind in the industry),
incorporating the latest protocol improvements (such as preallocation of
bandwidth). And IBM will release product code name "Bluebird," taking the
headache out of managing PC applications, bringing the benefits of network
computing (including Java) to X86 systems. But that's only the beginning...
Thank you, OS/2 Warp users!
