[comp.os.os2.misc] OS/2 2.0 Extended Edition

From The Mind Of <U39648@uicvm.uic.edu> (05/09/91)

>Also, ask them when the Extended edition for 2.0 will be available.

Oo!  Oo!  I can answer that one!

IBM currently has plans to offer NO Standard or Extended Editions of
OS/2 2.0.  There will just be an OS/2 2.0.  If you want the Extended
Edition extensions, you will be able to purchase them seperately, as
they will be unbundled.  (I've heard talk that they will be 16-bit
applications so they will work with OS/2 1.3 SE also!)

Also, as for a "release date" for OS/2 2.0, when IBM has been showing
it recently (the 6.123 beta code from February) it has been mentioned
that that code was ten months away from first production release...
