Yes, very good. I still mainly use M$6.22 due to compatibility
issues, however OD is great, and I will switch totally as soon as
I can guarantee all my apps will work as expected. My
development will also be OD/Linux or vica versa. I particularly
like the 32bit PM OS with 16bit in V86 consoles idea.
