Instead what happened was many people looked at it, said 'it's not useful for me right now', and ignored it (from what I can see).
That's *EXACTLY* what happened. I was the last "hold-out" of my "Amiga Group". I didn't migrate to a PC until 1999 and still supported the Amiga, by buying a new A1200 in 2000 (which, ironically, was sold less than a year later) and then purchasing Amithlon, before the H&P fiasco. I've secretly paid attention to AROS for *WELL* over a decade now and in the beginning, I showed it to most of my old Amiga mates, only to have them scoff at it, as they had already been fully integrated into the Windoze world, due to gaming.
It's hard to support something when you say, "It's not useful for me right now". That's the boat I'm in with MorphOS, OS4 and AROS now. I do too much development in the 3D field that requires a Wintel box. Looking back, sadly, my friends were right......
Then again, I've always been a dreamer. Guess that's why I'm still here, from time to time.
