You are so ignorant. Connectix's profuct does NOT require rebooting in the os/2 host. It is stable just as os/2 is stable. NOT any slower than VMWare the snail for all seasons. You are full of winds best make a trip to the bathroom or let out a big one.
Remember that active X will NOT be supported by Virtual PC so all windows apps that are not 3-d based will run fine but not those 3-d games and active-x based graphics programs.
Not really. Almost all new viedo cards are supported. Most sound cards are supported, but not out of the box. There are drivers for SB Live, and Most Crystal Semiconductor based sound cards like the Hercules Gamesurround Fortissimo II, which I have and love. USB device support is there but very spotty. ALL postscript lasers and most PCL lasers are supported. Many current HP inkjetsprinters are supported but not most.
Hey guy if you really want to give it a whirl, try the latest release. eCom Station check out www.ecs.com. Buy it from Prismdataworks.com if you decide you would like it. If you have any problems on installing,( not common on ide systems), contact me at imwechs@optonline.net
Performance-wise, os/2 is probably the most efficient industrial strength operating system in use today. It runs fine on 64 megs of ram, with 128 it flies and can run many applications at once. 256 mb on it is almost overkill except it can give your browser a 100 MB memory cache to speed it up. Windows NT or 2000, or XP are memory hogs in comparision, crash more often and are NOT secure due to inferior windows technologies like com dcom, and activeX which all have gaping security holes. That is why Bill Gates spent billions to strong arm developers NOT to write for os/2, distributors not to carry or sell os/2, and wined and dined the computer media to ignore or attack os/2.
No idiot for all idiots who have no practical knowledge of industry it is dead. More than half the ATM machines in use today still use os/2 and run on os/2 servers.
If you really wanted to purchase it you opt for eComStation from Serenity Systems. It is sold in the U.S. at www.prismdataworks.com. Single copy $139. $249 for advanced version with dual processor support. includes the option of hpfs or journaled files systems. Includes Lotus Smart Suite for OS/2 and options for discounts on os/2 cd burner programs and other applications.
Your a complete idiot. I expect sales of close to 10,000 of Virtual PC for os/2. I would be greatly surprised if it doesn't come close to or surpass that level. There are still millions of active os/2 licenses in the corporate realm and tens of thousands of end users using the product daily.

Most likely on an os/2 server. More than half the atms through out the world are still using os/2.
