According to IBM's OS/2 "owner" at the recent WarpTech conference in
Phoenix, OS/2 exceeded even IBM's best case internal revenue projections.
This revenue is immediately being back into product development. More
importantly, IBM has committed to it's OS/2 customers support on the
product through at least 2006.

This information from IBM seems to indicate a supported product well
beyond the timeframe that you are concerned about. (Of course, others
have been declaring OS/2 dead each year since at least 1994!)

Hope this helped.
