IBM's 18-year old x86 operating system, OS/2, will cease active sales in December. OS/2 Warp, a server version, will get limited support next year and beyond.
OS/2 was a very strong 16-bit graphical operating system back when Microsoft was clueless. But the vaunted Redmond marketing engine pushed Windows past IBM and Apple in short order. The rest is history -- except for the OS/2 installed base.
OS/2 was a good product which I will remember fondly.
