I wonder how many of us really have any idea at all what's 'happened' to OS/2? I loved OS/2 back then and still think it's superior to WinXP in quite a few ways, so I keep an eye on it.

Well some of us do. I still use it for many things. OS/2 is alive and well, it's just been renamed. See http://www.ecomstation.com

Device driver support is still available from IBM and discerning vendors.

Workplace Shell is so much nicer than WinDOS (and even nicer than my MacOS X system).

Now if I could just determine how to undo the patch in NetServer that stops it from accepting OS/2 requests I'd be happy. I have it on good authority that OS/2 connected successfully on OS/400 520 (yes! 520) until a certain Cume was installed. Hmm ....
