The company I work for still uses OS/2 Warp for a lot of the larger
equipment (cheque reader/sorters - basically very high speed scanners). We
did start the migration to W2K, but in the end it just got too complicated
without delivering any value. OS/2 is very fast/stable for
transaction-based
processing, W2K apparently has too many overheads to make it efficient
enough.
It's OK though, we keep the OS2 team riiight at the end of the corridor ;-)
(they're a bit strange!)

I know its off-topic, but I found it interesting.
Standing in Woolwich while an engineer was working inside machine - he
re-booted it, and it said OS-WARP !!
Is this still a current operating system ? - I thought it died years ago.
Last time I saw this was when I was messing with things like Win3.1,
Dosshell etc.
