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. The VMware Team
