I recently sent a mail to VMWare, asking them for OS/2
support, either as host OS, or at least as "client" OS. The
reply from them was that I should follow their web pages in
the future, since they were planning on expanding the
number of platforms supported. They also said they had
received a number of requests for OS/2 support. Now I was
afraid that this was another "automated reply", so I
replied to the mail and asked if this was so. One minute
later I got the reply: "I must be getting good at this if
my emails seem auto-response like. There is a good chance
that OS/2 will be supported but I do not have a firm date.
My take would be by the end of the year at the latest."
So.. I urge everyone to send a mail to "sales@vmware.com",
letting them know of your interest in VMWare supporting
OS/2.
For those who do not know: VMWare is a piece of software
that (currently) lets you run DOS, Windows95/98/NT, Linux,
and FreeBSD in an emulated x86 virtual machine, all at the
same time, using either Linux or Windows NT as the "host"
operating system. My hope is that they also start
supporting OS/2 as at least a "client", but preferably as
host os, since that's the most logical thing to do,
considering OS/2's superior stability and multitasking.
