- Oh, yes. Please. With HPFS for long file names.

- Think of all the companies that are fighting the Mac vs Win95 wars!
- Many Mac shops will convert to OS/2.

- License Executor (or ARDI should work with IBM to make an add-on) and
- allow "seamless Mac-OS/2" launching. IBM already has a license to
- MacOS, so it could even run the finder.

- Let me see, I will should be able to run an OS/2 native Netscape,
- a seamless Windows Netscape, a seamless Mac Netscape, a seamless
- X Netscape (off an Unix host); and of course WebEx; yep, that will
