Comment Warp 5 Client (Score 1) 90
I don't think IBM will ever choose to Linux'ize OS/2. Comments coming out of IBM seem to indicate that its a upgrade to keep its current cliental happy, and not to compete on the desktop.
After having seen the Beta, its got some new features that make it more like Novell 5. It's nice, but its still no Novell or NT killer.
I've always loved OS/2 since I started using it in '93. The biggest mistake IBM ever made was not introducing true Win32 support.
Linux'izing OS/2 would be wrong. OS/2 technically does everything better than Linux anyways, except, the multi-user stuff. If IBM added multi-user functionality to OS/2, I'd be a great OS. It just needs more 'real' applications.
