IBM P70

The version of Warp 3.0 you have IS the full version of OS/2. The only
thing missing is the component that allows you to run Microsoft Windows
programs. Warp for Windows, on install 'swallows' your win3x as opposed
of the 'bluebox' version which comes with MSwin3x. Both versions will run
perfectly without the windows compatability component. The difference
between the two is that if you allready have a MS released copy of MSwin,
you don't have to buy the blue-boxed OS/2 to have Windows in Warp. The
redbox version was cheaper for that reason.

Redbox Warp pissed MS off as they didn't get to sell two copies of
Winblows to a user that only needed one.
