IBM assured customers Thursday that the company will continue to sell and support OS/2, clarifying an online notice that drew speculation that the vintage operating system was being phased out.

The Notice of Software Withdrawal, published on Tuesday, lists nearly 300 OS/2 products that won't be available directly through IBM starting in March 2003.

That doesn't mean that the company won't continue to sell the 15-year-old operating-system software, IBM spokesman Steve Eisenstadt said. "As long as our customers want OS/2, we will support them," he said. "We don't have plans to withdraw OS/2."

New That's good news...
Now if we *COULD* just get them to do the Threading Support, Memory Management and other such things in Linux... with the same philosophies as they do in IBM's OS/2.

Bah... Never happen.
