IBM will stop support
for its OS/2 operating system on 23 December 2006, the company
said
on its website.
Support for related products is scheduled to stop one week later, but
continuing support will be available under a service contract.
OS/2 went head-to-head with Windows in the early market for desktop operating
systems. Although it was considered technically superior, the software lost out
to Microsoft owing to a limited selection of applications.
IBM's operating system had a particularly strong following in the financial
sector, powering many ATMs.
The last version of the software was published in 1996, although Big Blue has
continued to maintain the software and has been releasing patches.
IBM has advised the few remaining customers of OS/2 to switch to Linux.
