[ros-dev] My attitude

[David Hinz]

I think we might have good chances that IBM will help us, especially 
with the OS/2 subsystem. And if they still had their PC-branch, I would 
guarantee they would help us, just to show MS that nobody depends on 
them, but unfortunately they don't have it anymore...
Anyway, I think IBM, Intel and maybe companys like Dell should be worth 
a try.

Greets,

David Hinz
