Here is a reply I got from the VMware people to a question I posed
about why they dropped their OS/2 support.

  Dirk,

  There was no sinister Microsoft influence at all on our decision.
  It was based purely on technical and business reasons. To complete
  a commercial product release with full OS/2 guest support was going
  to require engineering and support resources at a time when we are
  dedicating all our efforts to bringing some very promising new
  applications for virtual machines to market. We did not want to
  continue providing what we consider to be a sub-standard quality
  experimental OS/2 feature, so we are getting out of OS/2 entirely.

  Regards,
  Eric
