VMWare does NOT run on OS/2-eCS and DOES not support OS/2-eCS as a 
client in any of its three flavours - ESX for corporate - high powered 
Intel hardware, running on a VMWAre specific cut down version of Linsux. 
GSX running either on Linsux or Windoze Server or Workstation, running 
on Windoze workstations or Linsux.

Microsoft VirtualPC / VirtualServer runs on Windoze and Mac. The Windoze 
versions (workstation and server) allow the running of OS/2 or eCSs as a 
client OS. There used to be an OS/2 version that ran on OS/2 or eCS but 
it's development ceased when Micro$oft took over Connectix (who 
originally produced Virtual PC and Virtual Server).

The "new boy on the block" is SVista - it runs all combinations (ie 
client or host) of the following:

Windoze
Linsux
Free BSD

and YES OS/2-eCS.

The windoze hosted version is the most adavanced as it is based on a 
previous virtaulisation product TwoOSTwo - which was wriiten 
specifically to run OS/2 on top of Windoze for several German financial 
institutions.

The other versions are effectively "late betas" and are still being 
developed. They are however already usable and further advanced than 
VirtualPC or VMWare were at this stage of their existance.

There are also "package deals" with eComStation for the OS/2-eCS 
version, as it is part of the optional application pack for eCS 1.2.
