This isn't exactly true.  Borland's tdw will run.  You don't get 386
debugging, so a UAE will crash the debugger and the WINOS2 box, but they
reboot quickly with 16MB of ram.  I've had one strange run in with
Winspector than crashed all of OS/2 when the UAE hit, but other than
that time the winspctr.log file gets written before OS/2 closes the box.

I've found OS/2 to be a fairly good Windows development environment.  It
acts slightly differently than normal Windows, but it is close enough
for most work.  You should obviously test your code under retail
Windows before any sort of release.
