I guess the real test will come when they can have several key
"heavyweight" packages like PHOTOSHOP running via ODIN (supposedly there
was a way to hack your way into getting PSHOP-4 running under OS/2, even
before ODIN, but it was arduous and not readily accessible for most
users), plus things like standard W32 games that are not ports or
emulations. That day is not here yet, but it seems to be getting closer.
