ArcaOS 5.0, the long-awaited modern OS/2 distribution from Arca Noae, was released for general availability today.
ArcaOS 5.0 is available in personal and commercial editions, with the latter including prioritized support and a longer term of included maintenance and updates.
The personal edition is also offered at the discounted price of just $99 per license for the next 90 days, so take advantage of the savings during this introductory period.

ArcaOS licensees should also check the wiki pages which should see a number of updates in the coming days to help get the most out of their software.

At the request of Arca Noae please do not send checks from Europe! They are extremely expensive to process!
There will also be a social event on Friday evening at 19:00 which is organized by me personally. Everybody is welcome to join the tram trip of 1 1/2 hours. The tram will leave at 19:00 at tramstop Blaak just a 1 minute walk from the main library. If you do want to join the tram trip buy with your Warpstock Europe access a ticket with the tram for 0 Dollar. For coffee and tea in the tram, please book in advance!!!
When on the tram you will be required to pay me Euro 7.50. Note the rent of the tram costs 600 Euro! I will partly pay this myself and we have been sponsored by Daniel Caroll from the US!!
Some of the things you can expect at Warpstock Europe 2017:
* The latest news from BWW regarding its software development.
* The latest news from Arca Noae regarding its brand new OS/2
distribution called ArcaOS.
* We will also have an OS/2 quiz to test your knowledge on OS/2, its
history, technical details etc. This quiz will most likely also be
accessible via the internet!

More details to follow on the program!
We hope to see you in Rotterdam.
