Guess that this information will be handy for some; but it seems that they're releasing following info:


If it's of any help or just load of documents, well that needs to be checked; but more information can be found at Microsoft (http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/press/2008/apr08/04-08ProtocolPR.mspx?rss_fdn=Press%20Releases) home page.

As the subject line states; and, still Microsoft, IBM et al find it impossible to release the Source-Codes for the OS/2 Warp Operating System as was requested by for the second time in the most recent OS/2 World Foundation Petition Letter.  >:( :(

The difference is that Microsoft got a huge monetary penalty by the EC; so as we all already know this is just done due to that they're forced. Question remains if the information is of any value at all.
