Chris Nelson of Mozillazine sent me the following concerning
our report that Mozillazine ommitted OS/2 from a recent
poll:

+-------------
There was a bit of confusion regarding the poll that
occurred on MozillaZine recently. Many people got the
impression that the poll was gathering information on
readers' OS of choice. This was not in fact the case,
but that impression was furthered by the poor wording of
the poll and some of the choices in it.

The poll that apparently had OS/2 users upset was not a
question about preferred Operating Systems, but about
expectations regarding new Operating System revisions
and platforms. OS/2 was not on the list, because from
what I can tell there is no official new revision of
OS/2 planned. Win98, 95, and Windows NT were not on the
list either (but their new revisions, Windows
"Millenium" and "2000" were). If I was considering all
OS options, of course Win9x and WinNT would be on the
list as well. If OS/2 had an official new revision
planned (and I have seen no indication of that, only
vague murmurs of the possibility of StarDock taking over
consumer development of the OS), OS/2 would have made it
onto the list, as well.

There is really no controversy, only misunderstanding
from my inability to properly state the nature of the
poll, and my inability to word it clearly. I did not
intentionally ignore OS/2, just as I did not ignore
Win9x and WinNT.

I hope this clears things up. I apologize for the poor
wording of the poll, and will make an effort to avoid
misunderstandings like this in the future.
