	Consistent with that direction, IBM has announced withdrawal from marketing and a change in support for OS/2 Warp V4 and OS/2 Warp Server for e-business
	Effective December 23, 2005, the products are withdrawn from marketing and the product CDs will no longer be available
	End of Standard Support for both products is December 31, 2006
	Support beyond December 31, 2006, will be available for a fee via Service Extensions or Total Content Ownership offerings
	Migration recommendations and assistance are available
