Virtual PC for OS/2 released

LordNimon writes "Who says OS/2 is dead? Not Innotek, apparently. They just released Virtual PC for OS/2 (aka VPC/2), which allows you to run any PC operating system inside OS/2. They also made available OS/2 "guest" support, which improves the support for running OS/2 under VPC for Windows. I just deleted my Linux partition amd reinstalled it under VPC/2, and now I never have to reboot again! I also heard that that OS/2 development team found a number of bugs in the core code, and the fixes were incorporated into the Windows version. Today is a great day for OS/2 users, especially those that want to try out Linux or run Windows apps that don't work with Odin."

Flame war post, Sorry...

[piecewise]

I don't mean to start a fight or offer flaimbait... but what exactly is the point of "hanging on" to an outdated operating system?

Or maybe I'm mistaken. Is OS/2 still a big deal and is widely used? If so, where is it being used so much?

From my perspective this is "cool" I guess but not necessarily too useful...
