Well I use it as only OS on my Machines the past years and I am perfectly happy with it. Mainly because we started an Open Source Project called netlabs.org and do the software by ourself. We are pretty successful and we have a great community. But we know that IBM won't support it for a long time in the future so we look for things we can do... more soon at netlabs.org about that subject
Yes, Project Odin implements Direct-X, at least a part of it. More work has to be done but we can already run 2D-Apps and 3D-Apps if they support GLIDE. For example I can run Quake II, Quake III and Halflive on my OS/2 box with my 3DfX card. Odin is *not* an emulation so performance loss is minimal. RealPlayer and Office '97 is also working!! By the way, the link to the Odin homepage is wrong, it should be like this.
Quake II is running on OS/2 for years now, we can run it with Odin, our Wine...
Linux FUD!
