I've been waiting for some sort of an official announcement, but haven't seen one so I'll pass this on. As of February 1 there was a new beta drop of SVISTA available through the Mensys secure downloads page for people that have purchased "Serenity Virtual Station 2004 (SVISTA) ESD for OS/2".

With this release I was able to finally install XP Home, though I still haven't figured out the networking.

"Serenity Virtual Station (SVISTA) enables you to run "virtual personal computers" on your PC. By creating these virtual machines, users can run multiple copies operating systems at the same time. For example, a user could run Microsoft Windows XP (r), a copy of Microsoft NT4, and even a copy of IBM's OS/2 on a PC which is "running Linux"."
