From the Southern California OS/2 User Group:
An interview with two OS/2 visionaries, both of whom are on the
Warpstock management team, is now online at
http://www.scoug.com/os24u/1998/scoug809.2.warped.html
The interview touches on many subjects, including
- the OS/2 road map
- how IBM has become locked into full-scale support for OS/2, to
appease corporate America
- the international sales figures for OS/2
- OS/2's life expectancy (it's at least 10 years, guys)
- who IBM is keeping happy by releasing Netscape 4 for OS/2
- Win32-OS/2 and Timur Tabi's promised "surprise"
- IBM's big plans for Java, and how they'll use OS/2 to run it
- the areas in which NT server fails when compared to OS/2 Warp
Server, and why large corporations can't use NT server
- WorkSpace On-Demand, and how it benefits OS/2 users who don't have it
- Aurora
- where the discussions of OS/2's future take place, and how to be a
part of those discussions
- how many discount rooms are still available at the Wyndham Hotel
Included at the end of the interview is a relevant url list.
The author wishes to extend his thanks to the Warpstock management team
for taking the time to make this interview possible.
