Story: KDE getting ready to go native on Windows
Posted by: Richard June (Wednesday 9 February 2005, 12:10 AM)
I don't remember OS/2 *EVER* doing particularly well outside the banking sector, You played hell trying to purchase a machine running OS/2 which meant you had to buy it retail, at a healthy price. Thus making it's use in homes pretty much out of the question. I ran both OS/2 v3 and OS/2 Warp, and they were great in a lot of ways. but Linux has something OS/2 doesn't have. a large number of ISVs. most linux ISVs are coders writing GPL software, but it's still a very vibrant communtity. I don't personally care if commercial company X decides to port to linux. Eventually they'll pick up on the choice. do it, or be marginalized. why do you think there's really only one commercial competiter to apache? that's the only company that can afford it.
