IBM will stop selling the OS/2 operating system at year's end, marking an end of an era for Big Blue.
IBM, which made the announcement this week, said it will discontinue OS/2 products by Dec. 23 and withdraw standard support for OS/2-related products as of Dec. 31, 2006.
Support for OS/2 will only be available under a service contract after 2006.
"We're making official what has been going on for quite some time," said Steve Eisenstadt, an IBM spokesman. "We haven't released a new version of OS/2 in nine years."
