Two articles on OS/2: "IBM's farewell to OS/2 next month shouldn't take anyone by surprise. Long before Big Blue announced its plans to pull the plug, industry watchers were drafting OS/2's obituary." And, "Yesterday saw IBM cease the sale of the OS/2 Operating system. Come the 31st of December, standard support for the OS will end also. However, a significant number of companies and people continue to use it, and they are finding ways for OS/2 to live on."

It keeps striking me as odd: people stop using a tried and tested product, and exchange it for Windows. If you stop shipping your ATMs with OS/2, why not put a BSD on it? It would seem that provides a larger profit margin once the initial cost of porting it has been completed.
