IBM has a new line of PC's out, the 300 GL Small Business Series. They
come with MS-Windows 98, Lotus SmartSuite Millenium Edition, and now
also Microsoft Office Small Business Edition.
What's interesting is that this computer was not even tested for
compatability with OS/2. (See "Operating System Software" below.)
Even though IBM has not bundled OS/2 in a long time with their
computers, they have always tested them for compatability, it looks like
even that level of service is going away.
I discovered this by accident while looking at PC Connection's IBM page
(http://www.pcconnection.com/ibm) and when I selected one of the PCs, in
there was this line "No OS/2, SCO, Win 3.11 support."
