I haven't tried PO7 on WinOS2 yet, but WinOS2 DOES support Win32s. Unfortunately, not the 'latest & greatest' versions of Win32s from Microsoft (I think OS/2 currently supports 1.15... rt release notes).

Win32 is still something of a moving target at present so if Win32 is important to you right now, and I speak as an OS/2 fan, you should probably run NT. There are signs that Win32 is stabilising as MS try to converge the APIs for NT, Win9* and Win32s. Once that happens, I'd expect OS/2 to catch up fast.
