Full details of IBM’s OfficeVision announcement will eventually monopolise acres of yellow space, but in the meantime, it is clear that OfficeVision/2 for the PS/2, which starts to appear as soon as September, takes up an unconscionable amount of main memory – at least 8Mb and up to 12Mb, which suggests that there won’t be too much room for anything else on the average PS/2 that runs it: the memory will of course cost a fair bit – so much in fact that IBM is offering US users who opt for OfficeVision discounts on memory – but only to the end of this year, which is long before most users will have decided whether or not to commit to Office.
