Did IBM say that?

   Don't belive everything Stardock say. It's likely that there will not be
any new OS/2 client. But saying that there never will be one is just plain
dumb.


   Remember OS/2 for PowerPC? Everyone was waiting for the big release; but it 
never came and many user shouted "But you promised!!". Had IBM promised? Nope. 
No one could find any official "we promise" from IBM. Now; try to find the
official statement from IBM stating that there _never_ will be any new OS/2
client. You'll find that they have "no current plans" for an OS/2 client.


   It's important to be realistic; I repeat - it's likely that there will be
no new OS/2 client version. However, do not make the mistake of taking
whatever comes from Stardock as the absolute truth.


I for one will not consider using any other system until:
1. IBM removes the OS/2 Warp4 pages from their web.
2. I find a better system.



   I'm tired of bumping into Stardock lemmings wherever I turn. I wish
everyone who 'follows' Brad Wardell would simply stop using OS/2 and get it
over with. Then all the OS/2 users who use OS/2 because they like it (and not
because Stardock supported it) can get back to the everyday OS/2 computing.
Just as yesterday, and the day before that, and the day before that. When the
time comes to switch to another system, we'll do that. But we won't just
because Stardock says it's time.


   If I'm not wrong, you'll say that IBM never really supported OS/2. IBM will 
kill Linux. There's no chance there will be a new OS/2 version. OS/2 is dead.
And all that. I'm guessing you will not listen to reason, so I'll simply do
what I always do when I know there's no end to a discussion. I'll give you the 
final punch, I'll read what you have to say, but I won't answer it unless you
ask me a specific non-flame question in which case I'll answer it by netmail.


Good luck with whatever new system you chose.
