OS/2 is a dead product, rather suprising city traders take their chances with the product that is effectively unsupported by the industry.
Anyway, Kaspersky used to have OS/2 version of their stuff, but they don't seem to have it now.Comment

OS/2 was good stability wise against Windows 3.1 and 95, also NT 4.0, but that's ancient history friend.Comment

weren't ATM's all running OS\2 up until very recently?
IMHO Microsoft have made the Windows Operating System (at least at the back end) very stable and secure - if the admin knows what he's doing then it's one of the best OS's there is. Even as a firewall! (ISA Server)Comment

Apple doesn't blue screen because it has 2 pieces of hardware - notebook and desktop. Windows run on every feckin device that people created. That s why you test before install. Got it ?Comment

I work with clients who have hundreds (sometimes thousands) of modern Windows (2003) server blades and they are rock solid 24/7 for months on end.
Things have changed since OS/2 was a competitor to Windows 3.0.
Still, stick with the obsolete OS and wait until you are truly fooked with no migration path or plan.
Good luck.Comment

Originally posted by AtW View PostThe irony I think is that the only OS that can probably run those OS/2 programs would be Windows.
I used OS/2 ages ago, in the time when Windows 3.1 was around, but nothing better - IMO, it's time is gone and your client should move away from the past into the future.
HTH
Woolwich and Barclays still use OS/2 for some systems...although Woolwich is no more obviously."If you can read this, thank a teacher....and since it's in English, thank a soldier"Comment

Seriously, OS/2 is effectively a not supported OS that will never be developed further - one really need to move away from it ASAP.Comment
