workgroups, but IBM still supported it for quite long period of time. And OS/2 was much better IMHO.

As a long-time OS/2 user, I do remember, and damn what a miserable life that was. As soon as I had wound my BBS down (which was running on Maximus on OS/2), I had switched my home server around to Linux since I preferred it way way more. Using any new hardware, or a decent graphics card was a constant struggle and IBM wouldn't care much.

Support as in life support is as good as none.
