[comp.os.os2] IBM OS2 v1.0

corwin@polari.UUCP (Don Glover) (12/02/89)

Does anyone know if there are any 'significant' bugs that should
keep me from buying a 'new, in the box, shrinkwrapped' copy of IBM
OS2 version 1.0 for $49.99 at a local discount store?

No bugs, but OS/2 1.0 is useless for most purposes because it doesn't
have the Presentation Manager.  Make sure that you have the ORIGINAL
version, including the registration card.  If you can register it, then
IBM will send out FREE the upgrades to get you to version 1.2.
