Jun 07, 2015 OS/2 was once seen as the challenger to Microsoft Windows. But it didn't quite pan out, and the rest is history. Microsoft IBM OS/2 Warp 4 Virtualbox Installation and first look - Duration.
- Installing OS/2 4.52 (Warp 4) on VMware ESXI Installers with floppy disk boot images require swapping the disk images which is tedious. Find ISO images with 1 boot CDROM ISO and 1 install CDROM ISO – this is a much easier approach for installing. The Boot ISO and English ISO from this collection on archive.org work well.
- Lore in these parts is that I ran OS/2 for a long time in college and management got wind of that and asked if I could get OS/2 up and running in VMWare. Which - I did (Didn't get around to installing the fix packs or getting the networking setup). I know VMWare can support NT 4. But that importing options are quite limited for both of these.
- There may be ways to run some versions of OS/2 after tweaking VMware in various unsupported way, but that is pointless because there are better solutions available. Virtual PC Now Virtual PC is a completely different story. In VPC 2007, OS/2 Warp 4 FP15 and Convenience Pack 1 and 2 are officially supported guest operating systems.

If it makes you feel more comfortable, I know folks that run VMWare

flavors of OS/2 installed. Needles to say, they run fast.

eComStation is supported in VMware, so Warp 4.52 should work too,
but I have never tried it.
I have however been running eComstation under VirtualBox for many years,
and that works really really well - with hardware VT-X/AMD-V enabled.
I'm not sure, why you call this for 'Desktop virtualization' - eCS runs just
as fast as guest, as on real hw.
BTW, this is really a bad group for real OS/2 questions, because all real
users have fled a long time ago, due to a lot of trolls in here, so

It is better to close your mouth, and look like a fool,
than to open it, and remove all doubt.
