Great advice, upgrade to an OS not even released. My client can't use flacky cr@p like Windoze anyway I'm afraid.

We need an uptime in double digits.

Sounds like you have got some legacy OS/2 software that you can't or won't port/rewrite?

How comes millions of other businesses seem to cope with Windows Server products?


Maybe you just need to enter the 21st century?

City traders will not stand for Windows on the back end. If we bought Windows they'd go out and buy their own boxes and stick them under their desks.

I kid you not.

The irony I think is that the only OS that can probably run those OS/2 programs would be Windows.

I used OS/2 ages ago, in the time when Windows 3.1 was around, but nothing better - IMO, it's time is gone and your client should move away from the past into the future.

Create an OS/2 theme for Windows, those traders won't notice

Os/2

According to Wikipedia:

Although IBM began indicating shortly after the release of Warp 4 that OS/2 would eventually be withdrawn, the company did not end support until 2006-12-31.[24] Sales of OS/2 stopped on 2005-12-23. The latest IBM version is 4.52, which was released for both desktop and server systems in December 2001.

IBM is still delivering defect support for a fee. IBM urges customers to migrate their often highly complex applications to e-business technologies such as Java in a platform-neutral manner. Once application migration is completed, IBM recommends migration to a different operating system, suggesting Linux as an alternative.


Might be a good idea to start a migration product now. Kerrrching!
