5. Vision
OS/2 Warp is a great operating system. After all those years of IBM neglect,
it still is. In fact, OS/2 is IBM's flag ship, IBM's masterpiece. But it's
heading towards the far distant horizon, and once passed that horizon, pirates
will come and attack it. IBM, being the captain, has already decided not to
defend itself. The captain is just agreeing that the ship will go down.
That's what IBM thinks of it, despite the fact that there are more OS/2 and
eComStation users than IBM even dares to believe. We believe there is still
a place for OS/2 today. OS/2 offers a solid, fast, reliable base for a very
diverse set of applications. A new and exciting project has been launched
by Serenity Systems International and Mensys; those guys are as motivated
as us to paint the OS/2-ship again. Though a very challenging project, since
we always try to be objective as possible, critics towards eCS, SSI/Mensys
will never be avoidable.
Nevertheless, there has always been a lack of information of OS/2-related
subjects. Especially with hardware; that's why we developed this site: to
fill that gap in the OS/2 community. OS/2 offers broad support for an enormous
amount of devices, and even non-IBM hardware, but people just aren't aware
of that. This site will point you to hardware that will work on OS/2, both
older and modern hardware.
The information offered via this web site is mainly targeted for IBM OS/2
Warp V4 or higher and eComStation. However, most of the information will also
be applicable to older OS/2 versions, including WorkSpace On-Demand.
