I'd buy it -- IF Ardi was commited to doing the port.

As for concerns of Ardi being overloaded, that sounds like a management 
decision. 

If they can't do it, they can't.  It doesn't mean I'm going to roll over 
and buy Executor now just because they can't make an OS/2 version right 
now.  

I wouldn't buy a Pentium if Compaq didn't sell Pentium Pros either -- I 
know what I need, and will wait till it is available or find another way 
to fill that need.  This is not an insult or confrontation of Ardi -- 
what they have is indeed amazing -- but it's a statement of facts from my 
own point of view.
