Having worked with the team who built a banking system on OS/2 for one of the top 5 world Banks, I'm a big fan. It was so easy to customise and especially easy to debug. If something went wrong with a Server and it locked up, you just plugged a laptop in the serial and you could connect to the Kernel, amazing.

It was, and has been for a long time, more robust and more secure than Windows. Only now has that very Bank moved to Windows.

Now I'm not talking ATM's here, I'm talking about the front end Teller systems, when you talk to a member of staff and they type on a PC, that's the system.

There are still many Banks that use OS/2 to run their Banking infrastructure, major ones too.
