Where have we gone? Well, we never left. A lot of us switched over to eComStation when it was released this year, but eCS still runs the same old applications (and the new releases) that OS/2 does.
It's funny how the "OS/2 is dead" rumours surface each time a new release of Windows appears. We have a political party like that. No policies of their own, or at least none that they care to admit to, so their entire election campaign consists of pointing out what's wrong with the opposition.
My Linux-using friends keep telling me that there are no applications for OS/2, but how would they know? It's amazing how many people are willing to spread rumours like that without ever checking the evidence. In fact plenty of people, including me, are still releasing new software. Just recently I sold a copy of my mail server software to someone who had been running Linux as a mail server, but had reached the point where it simply couldn't handle the high traffic levels. Installing OS/2 solved the problem. Not all of the migrations are in the "obvious" direction.
