IBM is a faithless partner.

I know. I have a small company which was an IBM OS/2 Developer Partner.

IBM abandoned us. They surrendered to Microsoft leaving all us OS/2 developers high and dry.

F*ck IBM. I hope their executives rot in hell.

I had only my REXX test left to take before I got my OS/2CE. I had an interview scheduled in Boca Raton when they pulled the plug. I'm still miffed about that.

IBM is a big company. And big companies, like countries, don't have friends. They have interests. Fortunately IBM is just another company in the Linux market. They don't dominate it so they don't get to pull stupid stunts. Users know they have other choices and will bail in a heartbeat.
