A nice benefit is that OS/2 remains (moderately) updated for other users.

There are more nice benefits. Like the unrivaled WPS, the unrivaled DOS capabilities, the ever growing linux friendliness (meanwhile we have CUPS, qt4, and rpm working).

Best of all is the unrivaled peace of mind after 20 years of internet access without malware threat.

And please don't believe the FUD about not running on modern hardware. The eCS 2.1 machine I'm writing this comment on consists of an N68C-GS FX mb with Athlon 64 X2, PCIe graphics, SATA and PATA HDDs, and 1600*1200 display. It also works with wide screen displays but I dislike these formats.

My daughter's PC has the same mb, the same RAM (4 GB), a faster CPU (athlon II X2), and runs fedora. It is significantly slower.
