	Canton Michigan˙OS/2 s fortunes continue to rise as native OS/2 software 
begins to arrive in quantity.  Stardock Systems, a leading OS/2 ISV has five native 
OS/2 products scheduled for release this Fall. Following up their success with 
Galactic Civilizations and OS/2 Essentials, Object Desktop is the first product to 
emerge from their ambitious Fall product strategy.

	"Object Desktop was designed from scratch to be the most advanced, 
flexibile, and intuitive desktop environment ever made for the personal computer. 
Only OS/2 s Workplace Shell can handle the type of integration and power we needed 
to make our goal become a reality." said Brad Wardell, President of Stardock
Systems, Inc.

	To entice resellers and distributors to stock Stardock s Fall offerings 
in quantity, Stardock is offering a 15% discount on top of its already aggressive 
wholesale pricing strategy for reseller/distributor orders made before September 30.  
Stardock won t invoice or charge buyers until the products ship.  Distributors and 
resellers who have Object Desktop early will have a competitive advantage over 
those who wait until later this Fall.

The early reviews of Object Desktop, for example, have been universally positive:

"Object Desktop brings OS/2 up to its potential and, in doing so, brings it up to date.  
And it does it so well, I predict it will be an instant hit and best-seller for OS/2 for a 
long time.  No one who sees it will want to do with out it."
-Nicholas Petreley, InfoWorld, June 19, 1995

"Object Desktop is more than a suite of applications and operating system 
enhancements -- it is what OS/2 advocates have been waiting for all these 
years."
-Mike Hite, I/O Magazine, July Issue.

"I haven't been this excited about a product since OS/2 Warp itself.  My competitors 
are releasing a product this Fall and it has some nice features. But Object Desktop 
gave me everything they have and a lot more (and on a more solid foundation -- 
OS/2 Warp)! Object Desktop will be the first thing I install on any of my systems 
from now on!"
-David Barnes, Senior Product Manager, IBM PSP


Stardock is backing Object Desktop s strong early customer demand with one 
of the largest marketing programs ever created for an OS/2 product.

“Make no mistake. Our marketing goal with Object Desktop is simple: every PC 
with OS/2, whether running in the enterprise or in the home, should have Object
 Desktop.  Stardock will do whatever it takes to make this a reality.” said Wardell.

Resellers can expect heavy demand for Object Desktop as OS/2 customer sites 
and end users begin migrating to it.  Moreover, many analysts expect OS/2 to 
gain a significant number of new users this Fall as OS/2 s superior backward 
compatibility, stability, and connectivity entices users to upgrade from Windows.  
Object Desktop s features add a significant incentive to make the switch from 
Windows.

Resellers, VARs, distributors, and consultants are urged to get involved early so 
that they can be prepared to meet customer demands and concerns upon the day 
Object Desktop ships.


Object Desktop will released on September 30 with a suggested retail price of $99.95. 
Site licensing, wholesale pricing sheets (with early discount info) can be obtained 
from Stardock at (313)/453-0328.
