Some of the earlier correspondents in this thread may not be aware that IBM *does* bundle OS/2 with ThinkPads that can run it effectively. The machine is factory-configured to give you an "are you sure?" marketing screen about OS/2 if you decide to boot to Windows instead of OS/2, whereas choosing OS/2 yields no such deterrent.

I don't know if this misdocumentation is associated with the 755CD or simply with ThinkPads shipped at that time. Robert's comments suggest that IBM is now shipping more current documentation with the 755CX. Can anyone say whether IBM is now shipping current and correct OS installation documentation with other models?

Actually, Robert, what you really said earlier is "It is much better to just kill a thread you don't like," and "Why should you feel you have to make the decision for everyone else?" I'm happy to learn that you now feel otherwise. Be seeing you... --Lang
