[WarpCast] VMWare abandons OS/2 :-[ - 4/26/00 |
Network Trace for OS/2 - Turn any OS/2 machine into a network probe. - Take a trace on any segment in the network, in minutes. - A software-only, hardware-independent implementation. http://www.goldencode.com/ntrace.html ********************************************************************* Source: Robert Fargher (fargher@aebc.com) Moderator: Trevor Smith (feedback@warpcast.com) ------------------------------------------------------- I just received the following depressing email from VMWare: ________________________Forwarded Message___________________ Dear VMware OS/2 User, As a registered licensee of VMware's experimental release with OS/2 guest support, the effort you have made testing VMware and reporting your OS/2 experiences has been greatly appreciated. OS/2 users have responded enthusiastically to VMware's technology and the freedom it gives to run OS/2 applications on Linux and Windows-based PCs. However, VMware users have high expectations from our products and we do not feel, given our present strategic directions and commitments, that we can support OS/2 as VMware guest operating system. We have been very grateful for the interest shown by you and the rest of the OS/2 community in testing our experimental OS/2 release. We regret that we will not be able extend VMware support to include OS/2, but we hope you can find applications for VMware technology with the other operating systems you use. Thank you again for your interest in VMware.
