(general availability version) is shipping. Should be on shelfs on or about
Nov. 1. Reports from people with the gamma (a limited release of the golden
code) are very favorable; in particular the installation process is much much
easier. For those who care I've been playing with a beta of the webexplorer
that will be sent later as an add-on and it is very nice too. Warp will ship
with a bonus pak of internet stuff that is more than a cut above the usual
applets.
