I know you have all been concerned about the rumors circulating
in the press concerning the Gates/Gerstner meeting. This should
help alleviate those concerns.

SUBJECT:
Lee, I'm hearing there are questions about IBM's commitment to OS/2
based on reports of my upcoming meeting with Bill Gates. That's just
nonsense. I'm meeting with many people in our industry -- customers,
partners, and competitors -- as well as many within IBM, to get
acquainted and to get a sense of the industry and of IBM. For someone
to assume that I'm negotiating product strategies in these meetings
would be a serious mistake. I'm not doing that.

My job is to get the right people in place and give them the support
they need to compete. When I reviewed your plans with you and your team,
I was impressed with the progress you've made and where you're heading.
You and your team have the lead on this and my support in moving forward.
Good luck in your announcement next week.
