What FUD ? AInc promised "Amiga-anywhere", and now they are "in bed"
with M$ making it "Amiga Anywindows" at best.


AA may have been interesting, and I wouldn't have minded if that
stuff had run on M$ too, but if I wanted to write SW for AW I would simply
skip Intent and write for .net.

Do you think M$ would allow one of it's "partners" to write SW for
Symbian ? Or Linux ? Or something like the mystical OS5 ?

This partnerships only says that Amiga is now the PDA-games-division
of M$, and I wouldn't be suprised if it just be a brandname for M$
in 1 years time like Atari is now for Infogrames.

If M$Bill wants to do this McBill would be dead last to know, as he doesn't
own AInc (the investors/creditors do).
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

How long has it been since the "club" started ?
Wasn't there talk about A1/OS4 being "really close now"  ?

For me that implied "currently in final betatesting, will be out in 2
months max". Go back and read what the believers back than said.

Sofar they haven't even been able to send out a bunch of t-shirts,
which they promised would be out there within days.

So there is no question if they lied, one could only argue about the
scope of the lie.
