Virtual PC for OS/2 released

LordNimon writes "Who says OS/2 is dead? Not Innotek, apparently. They just released Virtual PC for OS/2 (aka VPC/2), which allows you to run any PC operating system inside OS/2. They also made available OS/2 "guest" support, which improves the support for running OS/2 under VPC for Windows. I just deleted my Linux partition amd reinstalled it under VPC/2, and now I never have to reboot again! I also heard that that OS/2 development team found a number of bugs in the core code, and the fixes were incorporated into the Windows version. Today is a great day for OS/2 users, especially those that want to try out Linux or run Windows apps that don't work with Odin."

    When I grow up I want to be a stormtrooper.
    It looks like such a good job. Apparently
    they have good pension, and tuition savings
    for your offspring.

    It's so fun! Search and destroy those rebel
    scumbags(terrorists) who undermine our
    way of life.
