What will drive the New Amiga?

[dammy]

I think you've missed the third leg in the Amiga Community, AROS.  AROS offers something the other two do not, x86 support and a open source OS for the Community.  No shell games over IP.  No more law suits.  No more broken promises of employment.  No more being locked into vender hardware. Just coders, users, and a few companies who are interested in AROS and will support AROS.  If that doesn't remind you what the Amiga Community spirit is all about, you've using Windows too much. :lol:

Didn't miss it at all. AROS is not a company

Neither is Linux.

Well, Linux has a corporate backing e.g. Red Hat, Novell, SUN, IBM, ‘etc’.

My point is Linus did not have any corp support in the beginning with his Linux.  Linux afterall is just a kernel, the other stuff was added on to Linux kernel as time went on.  Eventually the Big money found Linux as a suitable replacement of M$ warez, but that is a recent event.  Linus with his Linux, and a host of other Open Source OSs developers all travelled down a bumpy dirt road of developement.  Just like AROS has been.  Asked me in 1990 which OS, AmigaOS or Linux would be flurishing in 15 years, I would have have said Amiga.  Afterall Linux has no support and no company backing it where Amiga had the mighty C=.  How wrong I would have been.  

Feel free is discount AROS as much as you want.  M$ did with Linux so many moons ago.
