Re: FW: Children of the 1970's - Great Operating Systems

Sounds like we just became brothers to the mainframers.............

The end isn't going to happen overnight. There will
be no sudden moves or dramatic announcements. Even
IBM isn't cruel enough (or stupid enough) to put a
bullet in it's head. It will be put out to pasture to
live out it's natural life, the same way it happened
with VSE & OS/2. The only "investment" they are
making in the product is to keep the current customer
base happy with something they can continue to run on
until we all eventually fade away.
