Retorical: most files, not all files? I'll look at it again after a 
new major upgrade, albeit most of my hardware probably won't support  
FF49+ anyway (SSE2-related, FF49 for Windows requires a Pentium 4+).

 > They do use @UNIXROOT

To be fair, the main problem of a real Unix directory structure is 
that I don't have it (free boot disk space may become a problem too). 
There's no "Unixification Package for OS/2 and eCS 1.x". OTOH, if I 
would install eCS 2, and eCS 2 would introduce a real Unix directory 
structure (i.e. not an avoidable directory called "@UNIXROOT"), then I
may smile and enjoy my new OS while it's being installed by the 
installer of the OS. IOW: I'll use Unix if I like an Unix directory 
structure, but I wouldn't uninstall it. In the end it's an acceptable 
PITA, if an installer for OS/2/eCS 1.x  installs the basics.

 > Arca Noae is willing to support OS/2, eg with a subscription

Well, as long as it's clear. I'd prefer to use eCS 1.2 (USB support, 
new APIs since my W4 FP9) and rather old "new" hardware (T60p, too 
many cores, apparently even after disabling all but one core). At the 
moment that's my best theoretical combination, but now I cannot even 
install eCS 1.2. What I want/need is quite clear, from an user's point
of view. eCS 2.x works, but all I've seen is the demo CD.
