**********************************************************************
 
We at Serenity Systems International were very encouraged 
by IBM's review of Stardock's OEM proposal for a client 
product. While we regret the decision by IBM not to execute 
the proposal at this time, we recognize the effort and 
resource expended reviewing the Stardock proposal. 

Serenity Systems has an OEM software agreement with IBM. We 
found the IBM process with Stardock so positive that we are 
preparing to explore a potential licensing agreement with 
IBM for a client product based on the Warp Server for 
e-business kernel.

The Serenity Systems focus is not the traditional fat PC 
client. Therefore, the client workstation requirements for 
the Serenity Systems' Managed Client(r) products are 
significantly different than Stardock's requirements. 
However, the relationship between Stardock and Serenity 
Systems is one of mutual support and cooperation. It is our 
hope that Stardock will participate in some form in any 
proposal to IBM.

Serenity Systems plans to announce a Statement of Direction 
regarding support for a Linux based Managed Client product. 
We want to make it clear that any such announcement is not 
a departure from, but an addition to, our OS/2 based 
client.

OS/2 Warp 4 is the superior desktop client OS for Intel PCs 
in the market today. A commentary explaining our Linux and 
OS/2 positioning appeared on http://32bitsonline.com last 
week and is still available for review as "I'll Chose 
OS/2!".
