I believe there should be no problem.  There may be some utilities
which try to do direct sector read/writes (e.g. undelete?) which may
not operate (OS/2 2.0 provides undelete itself), but otherwise it
should work OK.

But I should point out that OS/2 2.0 provides the Workplace Shell
which goes beyond Norton Desktop (and even the Mac) in terms of
paradigm.  You can deal with this shell for tasks you'd normally do in
Norton Desktop while using Windows only at the application level, in
effect.

It is sort of like asking whether you can use Adobe Type Manager for
Windows under OS/2 2.0.  The answer is yes, but OS/2 2.0 ships with
Adobe Type Manager for both Windows and OS/2, so you really don't need
to worry about installing a replacement type manager.  Ditto for a
shell -- OS/2 2.0 comes with a nice one.
