I wasn't saying IBM should continue to support OS/2 and if I implied that, I'm sorry. My comment about companies still using OS/2 was in reply to your question implying that anybody who has bought OS/2 based PCs in the past 5 years is not "in their right mind". There are (arguably valid) reasons for companies to buy hardware and software that is near end-of-life.

The version was OS/2 went off support a long time ago. There are probably still some MVT shops out there. Should IBM still support MVT?
