Microslop: *messily committing public suicide* And I'm not even saying that as a criticism; there has literally never been a better time to make a move in DECADES. |

Too bad their business model is totally whack for personal use. One time purchase of $139 for 6 months of “support and maintenance” and then $49 a year for driver updates and such. It’s like they don’t want individuals using it. I’d imagine anyone who would be willing to pay that would be a commercial user with some old software that ArcaOS technically supports. Then it might be worth the price to be able to run said software with newer hardware. |

They probably don't want personal users. I remember seeing, not long ago, an OS/2 error screen in an older, but not ancient, ATM. I imagine there are other industrial/commercial machines still running it, and the technical support must be rather straightforward. |

80's? I thought it came out around the same time as windowed 95. Or am I thinking of OS/2 Warp? |

Now if only the company was willing to make the licensing terms a little friendlier for individual use, or even create an open-core version. We have 9Front and Haiku (and ReactOS), why can't we have a FOSS OS/2? |
