In the 1980s, Microsoft and IBM tried to build the future of computing together. 💻🤝 They called it OS/2. 💿 And for a moment, it looked like Windows might never win. > IBM and Microsoft partnered to replace MS-DOS completely. > OS/2 was their next-generation operating system. > Proper 32-bit multitasking. > Rock-solid stability. > Enterprise-grade performance years ahead of its time. > While Windows crashed constantly in the 90s… > OS/2 machines could run for months without rebooting. > Banks trusted it. > ATMs ran on it for decades. > Then everything changed. > IBM and Microsoft had a massive fallout. > Microsoft walked away to focus entirely on Windows. > Without Microsoft, the software ecosystem collapsed. > Developers stopped building apps for OS/2. > Windows took over the world. > IBM kept OS/2 alive for enterprise customers until 2006. > Most people assumed it died there. > But it didn’t. > In 2017, a small company called Arca Noae licensed the code from IBM. > They released ArcaOS, a modern version of OS/2. > Added USB 3.0 support. > Modern drivers. > Better hardware compatibility. > And somehow… it’s still getting updates in 2026. > Mainly used by banks, industrial systems, and hardcore enthusiasts. > Because rewriting that old software would cost millions. Most operating systems disappear when they lose the market. OS/2 refused to die. 🔥

Ah donc vous êtes pour une réforme des pensions et de la fiscalité ? On va enfin revoir le système de financement des pensions et drastiquement baisser celles des fonctionnaires ? C’est ça que demandent les agences de notation…

content de savoir qu'on a encore les moyens d'investir et surtout dans ce quartier là. Oui on espère une salle de shoot, ça aidera à s'évader et échapper à la réalité de cette moche zone.

France has begun plans to move government desktops from Windows to Linux. Each ministry must submit a formal implementation plan by autumn 2026 as part of the country’s push for greater digital sovereignty and reduced reliance on foreign technology providers.

📉 La confiance des consommateurs tombe à son plus bas niveau depuis mai 2025. Le plus grand pessimisme des ménages tient surtout à leur peur croissante du #chômage et à des attentes plus négatives quant à la situation #économique en #Belgique. 👉 nbb.be/fr/statistical-update…
