You can purchase the latest OS/2 code, packaged by Serenity Systems as eComStation, online at Prism DataWorks (http://www.prismdataworks.com/) or from Mensys (http://www.mensys.nl). IBM still sells OS/2, both client & server, mainly through direct channels, though Mensys carries it also.
OS/2 isn't an OS to just play with or try out; if you have a need for it, then go get it. If you want to play with it, go to eBay and see who's got what version available on the cheap. This stuff is industrial strength software (especially the latest builds of Warp 4.5 and eComStation), with tight security and superior crash resistance (okay, so I'm biased; sorry).
OS/2 is great software, and Innotek's VPC offering makes it even better. Good luck!
