Re: IBM looking to certify Linux

Shure it was stable with multitasking compare to win3
Highly superior, BUT ibm sign a deal in october 89
(http://www.islandnet.com/~kpolsson/workstat/work1987.htm)
 to get license from NeXT (Macosx ' dad) and abort later to put
Nextstep on a machine ,and today apple is the first *nix seller
and without os2 and soon without aix and ibm talk  linux every day
They are blind or what :-)
Macosx as400 couple should be really, really great :-)
A perfect hit.

A few years ago, I believe well over 90% of all ATMs ran OS/2. WinNT seemed to start eroding that around the time IBM started backing off OS/2 -- which is still sold by IBM and apparently still used in various places requiring high-availability, low maintenance and reliability. It's STILL a great OS with features I've yet to see in WinXYZ.

But i remember in 95,96 they are more floppy for ptf than for os2 itself !!
A real nightmare to install :-(

OS/2 - "A better Windows than Windows"
Of course (except for a few diehards) OS/2 is deader than nails.
