I wouldn't worry about OS/2...IBM's marketing will make sure it doesn't get
accepted any better the second time around than the first...
What I'm looking forward to is the desktop o/s that Oracle brings out. It
should firmly put Windows and AIX in the column of "legacy" systems... :)

Should IBM consider a return of OS/2?
A systems integrator close to the computing giant swears there's a
move >afoot inside IBM to reintroduce the operating system -- revered by
some, reviled by many --before it faded out more than 10 years ago. He
has heard this from inside Big Blue itself.
Interested constituencies would include "AS/400, and S390 users that
love OS/2 Communications Manager, SNA [Systems Network Architecture]
and newer LU/PU-style connectivity, even some on isolated APIPA
[Automatic Private IP Addressing] subnets," the integrator said.
Has this "integrator" just woken from a 14 year coma?
