IBM went away, simple people live here

The Shareholders of IBM corporation and Microsoft made the decision to extract resources (money) from OS/2 in the end of 90-th.

Since year 2000, OS/2 users live alone. The billions of dollars which were on this market, are not available anymore. Simple users and investors burn own money here.

"One man, no man"

Building an Operating System - it's a huge project. it's like building a real City (build houses, dig flowers garden, etc). Thousands of people are going this in the city.

Conclusion: Standalone developer is unable to create something. Always join a group, interact with other developers. Moreover, interace with all other "characters" (managers, resellers, Active users, ..)

When UEFI and other barriers appeared, we said: it's not important what is changing in the computers. You can always install OS/2 to Used Core 2 Duo PC.

Time goes and we see that OS/2 must support new models of computers because old generations are not available. don't fit the requirements.
