[comp.os.os2.misc] OS/2 2.0 and Windows apps

Does IBM still plan to let OS/2 2.0 run Windows binaries?  I know that they
had said that it would at one time, but since then I have heard otherwise.
   Is there anyone out there who has run the latest beta test who can confirm
or deny Windows apps running under 2.0?  Is there anyone in development who
can give a hint?  If you only know rumors, please mention in a reply that it
is just a rumor.
   If it does run Windows apps, how well will 2.0 do so?  Generally, I find
Windows to be much slower than OS/2.  Will Windows apps cause any problems
under OS/2 or just be a little slower than under native Windows.
