Hi Mc_kein,

1º) It's runs well on new laptops with dual core?? ie: Dell Latitude D620
I cannot tell. That depends on ACPI, screen format (16:9, i.e. "wide"?) and the video driver(s). In general, sound and networking (especially WiFi) chipsets used need to be clarified upfront, thus, checking with ecomstation.ru (as suggested per above post and URL) is recommended. :)

2º) All software that runs on OS/2 WARP 4.0, also runs ok on eComstation??
Supposedly... yes. As always, it depends on the specific requirements of the software. I can't tell if there are any backwards-compatibility problems with some DLLs...

3º) And the last one, what eComstation version have i to buy??? Because i see a lot of versions but my knowledge about this is very limited... ???
Good point. AFAIK, you can still download a free demo CD of eCS 1.2 ...(R?) at
http://www.ecomstation.com/democd/ (http://www.ecomstation.com/democd/)
...but this is NOT a current version! It lacks a lot of the newer (and in your case required) drivers like GenMac, Panorama, Uniaud (updated) etc. It's really a shame there is no 2.0RCx demo cd... So, to tell a long story short: I can't say. The latest would be best (2.0RC5 via update+subscription) but if that does not work out for you, I don't know if you can simply return it and get your money back...?
Quote4º) One more--> Could runs windows Xp and eComstation on the same laptop??
That should be no problem as far as dual-boot, multi-OS and/or partitioning is concerned.
Sometimes, with ACPI however, there could be implications by cold and or warm reboot shifting from one OS to the other (devices not initialized/terminated properly) ...but I think that was sorted out pretty much.
Best would be to find a local dealer and ask regarding "what if the stuff doesn't work...".
Or hope for someone having the same make and model of laptop answering here.
Oh, BTW, you might perhaps go there too: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/os2hardware/ (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/os2hardware/)
Chances are someone has already posted something (use search function) and if not... well, join, ask! :)
Hope this helps, regards,
Thomas
