If you purchase, you get a 2.0 key (that does not work on 2.1!) but you should get the good key soon when they release 2.1 So I'd test 2.1, as it seems stable - I've got OS72 working with nfs in very little time. The only thing I could not get to work is the (real) cd rom. Parallels say someting about needing rights on the cdrom (chmod a+r) but it does not seem to work, anything I try I can only mount an iso file. However, given nfs access, it's not a problem, even more as os/2 is installed mostly because I have a lot of old files requiring os/2 programs and because I was ready to spend $50 to get old feelings back :) On gentoo I can use vmware on the rare cases where I have to fire up Windows.

Not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?
