  20. Does that include all those OS/2 apps that their respective companies
  21. have abandoned due to lack of market? 
  22.  
  23. OS/2 will always have a niche, and that's fine. But it has little or
  24. no future. IBM has passively dumped its multiplatform capability by
  25. shelving (oops, "making available only by direct request") the PPC
  26. version, while NT chugs along merrily on PPC, Alpha, etc...
  27.  
  28. Anyway, I promised myself long ago I wouldn't get into OS flamewars.
  29. So I'll shut up here.... :)
