Topic which we are discussing since 2006: How to spend OS budget? 
 
   it's clear that web-browser porting is an important project.
But keep in mind that *ported* web-browser doesn't attract 
new users to OS/2. 
On the other side, the availability of modern web-browser
is the main requirement to keep existing users alive.
   What do you recommend? 
spend all resources to 1 huge program or invest into dozen of medium size apps?
 
As we discussed before, there are 5 divisions in the OS: 
1) drivers 20%, 2) utilities 20%, 
3) Applications 20%, 
4) installer 20%, 
5) ads 20%
 
More detailed view at 3) Applications: 
for example, 1/10 could be spend to  Firefox porting.
other 9/10 are invested inoto 5 medium size apps to extend OS/2 market
or improve usage of OS/2 for SOHO tasks.
