My understanding is that Odin has the ability to run win32 apps under OS/2. In fact, AFAIK, that's its whole reason for being. If that's incorrect, then please enlighten me.

I have absolutely *no* desire to run win32 apps on OS/2. I will not even chance having anything so prone to security leaks and virii running on OS/2. That's what I have a Windoze partition for. ;-)

I saw a comment from someone on Usenet that said that without Odin there would be no Opera for OS/2. Personally, I prefer to treat that as a sign that there will never be a true Opera for OS/2.

If this is the way things are going to go (tying new OS/2 apps to Odin), then I can clearly see that my transistion to Linux will have to be accelerated. As much as Linux is certainly no OS/2, it's becoming just about the only choice left. I certainly don't have much desire to go over to the dark side. Been there, done that, didn't like it.
