Mistakes of eComStation

2015-05-14 19:11:44 -- Eugene Gorbunoff [ecomstation.ru]

Seems that the main mistake of eComStation was: it was necessary initiate the development of Ready for Use Solutions (solutions for factories, offices, communication tasks), when eCS is pre-installed to PC and works as black box. This could bring permanent income of resources to our "town", load the developers with new tasks. It was necessary do this since the beginning, since 1999, 2001.

New epoch in the life of OS/2 starts and we should recall the mistakes. To achieve success in the next 5 years, it's necessary start Solutions development today.
