See, we're not the only ones!

Look at all the animosity being thrown at OS/2!

All the classics are there: overpriced, terrible hardware support, no software, no point in the modern world, let it die, plain ol' trolling, harassing the moderators, etc.

It's like looking in a mirror :/

I would say not so much a mirror. Their situation in many aspects is far better than ours:

They still have a viable and inexpensive hardware platform
They are unified
They have business customers
They have far more users and developers than we have
They already have a working OpenOffice and Firefox between other ports
They have a company which drives its OS, which is semi-serious

So still, they are in some aspects, in a far better position than we do. :)

Had a quick look, seems pretty timid to be honest and I've no idea what they're arguing over but I might just join up to show them how to argue erm... debate such things properly... :)

I think we're about even when it comes to charging a fortune for software barely anyone wants.

I'm actually considering buying eComstation 2.1, it's more useful than OS4. ;)

IIRC, IBM licenced Amiga technology from Commodore for use in OS/2.
