Bruce,
I recently read that once the Personal OS/2 (currently in Beta) is released in
September, the PSP group has agreed to start preloading OS/2 on the thinkpads.
The problems I have is that I want to buy a TP before sept. I agree that on
such an expensive machine, we should be at least given an option.
Rajan.
