Hi Holger,
PK>Europe is still a major part of the OS/2 world, thats why eCS does
PK>well there.
HG> I don't see any advertisements mentioning OS/2 or eCS in european
HG> computer magazines. The only ads are from mouth to mouth and unless
HG> the ears are in perfect condition even that is fruitless.
However thats the point, a really good product is one that does not need to be
"in your face" a lot, it sells itself.
HG> OTOH, Linux seems to take over some of the Windows operating systems
HG> even without much advertising but the computer magazines do compare
HG> and test various incarnations of it which keeps the techies up todate.
And that interest as come fom people who have experienced Linux and share their
enthusiasm naturally. A common mantra for sales is "a good product sells
itself", and thats how I view both OS/2 and Linux.
