OS/2 is NOT dead, IBM even said so just the other day.
IBM still supports and updates OS/2 with security patches etc... |

| Maybe the OS/2 dreamers will stop trolling in the Windows and MS related groups now. |

| Why? The Amiga dreams are still trolling, and that's been dead since at least 1994. :) |

| Or never START becoming relevant, as in the case of Linux :) |

Just because it's irrelevant now does not mean it cannot become relevant later.
The problem is that, as irrelevant as Linux is, the media loves an underdog and keeps posting stories about how wonderful and utopian Linux is, so MS must combat the PR. MS have always taken even the smallest thread seriously, they're not going to stop now. |

Hey, I just saw that Red Hat managed to have another profitable quarter. What's that now? 2 or 3 quarters total?
And man, they made a staggering $300,000! That should pay the salaries for what? 4? 5? people? |
| #8 By 61 (65.32.170.1) at 12/18/2002 2:41:49 PM |
| Neu: again, NO they didn't. IBM even said it just a few days ago on their site that they will continue to support OS/2, it will just no longer be available for sell on store shelves. |

Daz, I think this is their first profitable quarter.
z00k, Lol! |
