OS/2 versions were sold as initial versions and upgrades, costing more than later Windows versions due to lower volume of sales. Nevertheless, Stardock remained an OS/2 ISV until February 2001, when they stopped selling Object Desktop for OS/2. This led to their decision to switch to Windows in mid-1997.
1997 OS/2 revenues were 33% of those in 1996, and they fell to 25% of 1996 levels in 1998. Object Desktop 1.0 was followed by 1.5 and Professional versions following in short order.īy 1997 the OS/2 ISV market was flagging, and many customers were switching to Windows NT 4.
Object Desktop - initially entitled The Workplace Toolset/2 - was developed over three years by Brad Wardell and Kurt Westerfeld subsequent to Stardock's OS/2 Essentials, a pre-registered set of OS/2 shareware.
