    Is Serenity Virtual Station (SVISTA) based on Parallels virtual machine technology? Are there plans for an OS/2 host version of Parallels Workstation?

    SVISTA hasn't released anything since 2004, so I wouldn't think that it's based on Parallels, or the technology that Parallels uses.

    OS/2 has many supporters, and if the other one were to make the same request, I'm sure it would be given serious consideration.

    for OS/2 and eComStation.

    It will be very interesting to have a OS/2 and eComStation host of Parallels Workstation. Since the SVista future is unknown now, it will be great to have this alternative.

    VPC for OS/2 is no longer supported and I'm missing things there.
    Svista is even missing more things.
    I'm hoping for an OS/2 version of Parallels

    Hello All;
    I too would greatly appreciate the chance of having an alternative to Svista for OS/2 and eCS.
    So if Parallels is looking for a reason to extend their hosts to OS/2 they will find quite a few people willing to pay the same for an OS/2 Host that offers the same features that are in the Win, Linux or Mac hosts.
    I look forward to seeing a positive response from parallels team to the OS/2 Host requests.
    Thanks for the chance to voice my opinion.

    Count me in

    I too would certainly purchase a version of parallels that uses OS/2 as its host system. I currently use VPC but it is getting outdated (ie: no USB support).

    I use SVista on permanent basis. Win 2000 being the guest. ITill now I didn't find any technical, economical and practical reason to have Win as host and OS/2 as guest even if SVista have many limitation. I will certainly purshace any software running OS/2 as host that will give better performance thas SVista.

    Hi,

    I'm really interested in getting an OS/2 based VM solution with USB support (missing in both VPC and SVISTA). Since I own both, a cross upgrade license will be welcome :)

    thanks,

    Yuri

    eCS-OS/2 as host

    I also would like an version with eCS (OS/2) as a host. Virtual PC will no longer work, after the latest Microsoft updates to the Windows 2000 guest and of course SVista is not now being developed. Like many others, I want to run the occasional piece of Windows software, but I do NOT want the trouble of running a Windows host, just so that I can run the OS which I really want as a guest. In this case, the obvious course is to buy an eCS-host version and run the intermittent version of Windows.
