1117.0. "decwindows OS/2?????" by ROM01::CIPOLLA (DEC's margin on an IBM sale is zero!) Mon Jul 17 1989 13:06

"after months of hedging on OS2 support, DEC will finally bite the bullet
tomorrow and embrace the Operating System, As part  of its "computing 
for the 90s" event the company will announce decwindows for OS2 
along with other services, under the NAS umbrella, according to a DEC 
spokesman"

1117.1Is this called "smoking out the rumors"?CALL::SWEENEYHoney, I iconified the kidsMon Jul 17 1989 22:357
    The article in question is "Inside Lines" the new COMPUTERWORLD rumor
    column.  Their record on Digital rumors is pretty poor.
    
    I hear the unified VMS that runs under ULTRIX and the ULTRIX the runs
    under VMS is somewhere "under the umbrella" too, or maybe that's "Over
    the Rainbow", oops, I said the R-word, and that's unprofessional.
