The lingering death of OS/2 has come to an end. 9 years after the last major version of OS/2, IBM has officially announced what most observers (outside Usenet's comp.os.os2.advocacy) have known for years, OS/2 is dead. IBM is directing existing customers to the Linux OS.
"We're making official what has been going on for quite some time," said Steve Eisenstadt, an IBM spokesman. "We haven't released a new version of OS/2 in nine years."
According to Eisenstadt, OS/2 has fewer than 80 customers that hold more than 10 licenses.
Stardock, from 1994 to 1998 was one of the leading OS/2 software developers. Stardock's history on OS/2 can be found here.
