   Well, although I wouldn't have a problem with my financial institutions
using OS/2 Warp for niche use where it is well isolated and protected, I
would be very uncomfortable if they relied on "OS/2's hardened
features". This is certainly a myth and the TCP stack undoubtably
contains some ancient vulnerabilities since it was BSD derived.  Just
because it isn't a popular target doesn't mean it isn't vulnerable.    
I'll bet at least one
Russian hacker still possesses a 0-day attack against OS/2.
