Thanks RobertM for your kind comments; but, while the essence of my comment was not entirely/necessarily about whether "T.J.'s "philosophy" wasn't a philosophy or not, there was indeed something about that position that made quite a lot of sense and that was - "not to release a product until it was/is really ready" (or nearly so) just take a look at the update/releases of Windows. And, while it is not at all too clear how long you have been familiar/associated with OS/2 developments over the years... one can only reflect on the long wait for the updates from Microsoft then to apply the "Just Add Warp" upgrade. It is supposed you are quite familiar with the saying - "While the grass is growing the horses are starving"

. Perhaps, the reasons why there is not an Indelible Blue around today.

also, a reason why the Petition to for IBM to Open Source the OS/2 Source-Codes (or at least the parts of it that are owned by IBM).
All in all, from what "kimhav" is saying "I would really like to suggest that they release another RC just to make sure and as well; make it available for all earlier users who has an eCS license to get a final and broad test environment. Every RC has had it's own story on how well it worked and not worked and if this is the story with the GA; well I would actually wait for the first major update of the GA before upgrading...." (and, in recognizing the dire need for more "Openess" on the part of companies like
IBM, Serenity Systems International, MenSys.... 
) This then just make quite a lot of sense.
How about waiting around for next version of Lotus Notes, Lotus SmartSuite, Lotus SameTime et cetera et cetera... that would run on OS/2 Warp XXX as was the scenarios during the Microsoft/IBM/Indelible Blue era.
So, what then is the state of the OS/2 Bounty System/Program; and, the reason why some international projects (like the ones mentioned below have to take years to be completed when they can/should take months or weeks!
