Hardly. This is typical OS/2 paranoia speaking. MS bought the product
and is enhancing it to solve several issues with their own product lines.
Complex MS products often don't play well together. This causes server
proliferation. By running the apps inside a VM, MS can offer a path to
server consolidation.
While is was not stated explicitly by Innotek, I got the sense that they
could do an OS/2 hosted version of the next version of the MS/Connectix
product if they wanted to, but the numbers don't make sense.

It's Serenity's product and they are the ones doing the talking.

Yes. Bob made a few too many public statements and the cat was out of the
bag so to speak. The Serenity product will be based on the 2os2
technology which has been available for a while and which we have already
seen demo'ed at a SCOUG meeting. The current hosts are Linux, FreeBSD and
Windows. An OS/2 host is under development.
