Hi,

apart from the fact that IBM needs to use a couple of lakes full of ice-cold water to dunk 
their marketing department (does it even exist???) in them so those people will finally 
wake up, here's what I think - in addition to ideas expressed elsewhere and by others:

- True PnP support; I have an excellent non-SB PnP soundcard which Warp 4 simply 
won't recognize by itself.

- Much better overall multimedia support.

- Games, games, games, and more games.

- Encourage and _support_ small to medium ISVs to make native OS/2 applications for 
SOHO users.

- Support SOHO users - there's a hell of a lot of us folks out here, and we don't like 
being left out in the rain.

- OS/2 will _have_ to provide support for new hardware much faster than it does at 
present.

- Maybe an 'entirely new' file system - along the lines of UNIX; do away with those 
dumb and actually useless drive letters.

- Make installation a simple, single-step process that's as close to 'idiot-proof' as 
humanly possible.

- Quit staring at what M$ does - do your own thing, but for heaven's sake do it better 
than those folks.

BTW, I personally don't care whether or not OS/2 will ever support win32 applications - I 
_won't_ use software from those people - but there are a lot of people out there who are 
interested in WinDoze games. Therefore, IBM needs to truly encourage and support 
the makers of games to _also_ make OS/2 versions.
