IBM has been running win32 apps under OS/2 inhouse almost since
Win95 came out. The only thing they need to do to make that
support available to end users, from a "technical" point of view
is to burn the CDs. If things don't go well in court, IBM may
take a closer look at the ODIN approach, but right now ODIN is
not technically "up there." The updated WINOS2 with win32
support is already finished and fully tested inhouse, and fully
implemented code. ODIN is alpha level. Obviously, given a
choice in the matter IBM will go with what they've finished
rather than working on a new solution that isn't finished. The
updated WINOS2 approach also provides greater security against
ill behaved Windows programs bringing down the system.
