Mr. Kim Haverblad,
Webmaster & Founder,
OS/2 World.Com
Polis Larssons vag 63
21853 Klagshamn, Sweden

Dear Mr. Haverblad,


Thank you for your letter and continued suggestions recommending an OS/2 open source project.


As stated in our response to your September 2005 letter we have considered the positioning of OS/2 and open source several times in the past, and for a variety of business, technical, and legal reasons we have decided to not pursue any OS/2 open source projects.


IBM has service offerings that continue to be available for customers who need ongoing support for OS/2, although IBM has no plans for product enhancements. IBM has recommended that customers on OS/2 consider migration to alternative solution offerings, and has a broad array of software assets and services to help customers migrate. We would like to ask you to encourage any customers who are still planning their migrations or who have other technical requirements to contact their IBM representative to discuss how these assets and services could be leveraged.


Sincerely,


Yvonne M. Perkins
Vice President
Enterprise Platform Software
