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.
