After all: Actual version Named version Ratio(Actual/Named) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Windows NT 1.0 3.1 ~0.33 OS/2 2.1 2.1 ~1 If we go with NT's ratio, the next version should be around OS/2 6.3. But hell, if MS can stretch version number conventions, why not have IBM stretch it a bit more? Like OS/2 12.7 Release 46... Yeah...that sounds really cool. Or maybe OS/3 2.1? Hmmm... BTW, no flames please. This was just complete nonsensical waste of bandwidth, and anyone who flames will receive 20 copies of their flame :) Kevin Hsu ^-^ $ MolchiGin: U of Maryland, Dept. of Computer Science, Col (2:5020/128.0@fidonet) --------------------------- Final Cut ------------------------- Yours truly Dmitry --- * Origin: Silent Infinity Surrounds Your Mind (2:5020/32)
