-> I had no problems building a OS/2 Warp 3 virtual machine from the
-> CDROM. The CDROM emulator under VM Workstation worked fine.  One of
-> the big advantages of virtualization is abstracting away the
-> underlying hardware.  I can now move my OS/2 virtual machine to any
-> hardware machine I want.  Right now it's running as 1 of 6 virtual
-> machines on a Windows 2008 R2 server.

VMware Workstation is OK for testing and experimentation, but poor for
performance. In my experience, Virtualbox is faster. I've got a Windows
2000 VM running on a 64 bit Windows 7 vbox host, and the network speed
is close to the hardware maximum. It never ran that fast with VMware.
