Story: Thousands back petition to open source OS/2

Stupid, stupid people. They've known at least since 1999 (I know, I was part of the movement for 10 years) there is just too much Microsoft code to extricate. If they did take out all of the Microsoft code (which IBM will NEVER DO) it would take years to patch together the pieces to have a working system. (and believe me it wouldn't be the same system)

It's important for people to learn to get-over, let-go, move beyond what can never be. People that are unwilling to move forward with their lives end up with a "Pet Cemetery Scenario" for those that have seen the movie. Which would be what OS/2 would look like if it was re-assembled after all the Microsoft code was replaced.

Be bold and move on with your lives.
