And if you chose this method you'll find the OOo v2.0 version under Odin
will be flakey, be short of features and options, and freeze up your system
pretty easily.
Those caveats need to be clearly posted. You would be far better off
booting to WindowsXP and using OO v2.0 for Windows to be able to
work with OO v2.0 users outside the OS/2 community - UNTIL - we can
get a native OS/2 version of OO v2.0 out the door. That should be
during the first quarter of 2006. An integrated WPS will start showing
up in the second quarter and by the end of 2006 we should have one
hell of a suite of OS/2 native applications.
