The list of awful things that practically never happen under OS/2
is very long indeed. If I didn't occasionally wish to run
PhotoShop, or a few other Win-32 things like QuickTime or
RealPlayer for streaming media, I might not even have NT on this
system, thus dispensing with the Evil Empire entirely. And if
Project Odin gets into the home stretch, we'll have access to the
key Win-32 app.s under OS/2 as well.
