Hi Holger,


PK>Europe is still a major part of the OS/2 world, thats why eCS does
PK>well there.

 HG> I don't see any advertisements mentioning OS/2 or eCS in european
 HG> computer magazines. The only ads are from mouth to mouth and unless
 HG> the ears are in perfect condition even that is fruitless.

However thats the point, a really good product is one that does not need to be 
"in your face" a lot, it sells itself.


 HG> OTOH, Linux seems to take over some of the Windows operating systems
 HG> even without much advertising but the computer magazines do compare
 HG> and test various incarnations of it which keeps the techies up todate.

And that interest as come fom people who have experienced Linux and share their 
enthusiasm naturally. A common mantra for sales is "a good product sells 
itself", and thats how I view both OS/2 and Linux.

Cheers............pk.
