Please...  When was the last time a new feature or a real fix was
included in a M$ service pack?  How many have even been released? 
It's a total joke.  They don't support, they sell snake oil and
promise miracles.  IBM releases new features and real fixes at least
twice a year.

I really couldn't give a hoot whether IBM ever releases a new client.
 If they don't, Indelible Blue will undoubtedly improve WarpUp to the
point that you can do a complete install of Warp 4  to the latest
service level using an install of their design.  No, I don't have any
inside info, but I don't need to -- I know the way free markets work.
 If not IB/WU, then someone else.
