IBM has endorsed the strengths and benefits of internet technologies and platform
independence for several years, and has encouraged customers worldwide to make the
transition to network computing. The facilitate the transition, IBM has enhanced
OS/2 to become an excellent platform for the deployment of e-business applications,
while at the same time preserving investments in legacy applications. IBM has quietly
revamped its OS/2 operating system into a super-powerful tool that runs high speed
networks and controls large servers with multi-processor motherboards. Anise will
speak on how IBM continues to enhance OS/2 so that, in addition to preserving customer
investments in legacy OS/2 applications, it is the platform for future e-business
deployments and for the development of e-business applications. Come find out what's
happening in the OS/2 development world in upcoming releases and what enhancements
are being made and for how long.
Warpzilla: What's in it for users?
While far from complete, Warpzilla,
the next-generation browser/editor/mailnews client, is already available for intrepid
users willing to try preview software. This presentation will focus on what's new
in Warpzilla and how it differs from its predecessors from the user's standpoint.
It will address issues such as: How do users benefit from its being an open-source
project? What is IBM's involvement with Mozilla? What new features does it include?
What web standards does it support? What are skins? How does one select among the
various distributions available?
