"Sorry, lost me. What are you asking for again?"
Well, I allways doubted that AOS would be continued in the long term, and thought probably it would be substituted with some layer to run DE stuff.
Ive never doubted that this is Amino/AmigaIncs game plan and yes in a way it is technically possible
but what I have doubted is that they could successfully release the limpet like grip us users have on classic hardware before they get to the point that AmigaOS runs on DE ( API compatible like MorphOS ). But still they try to increase the gradient of adoption beyond that of which the userbase can countenance without bringing in any influx of users from the outside world either.
The Amiga users are still here cause they like the ClassicOS, and they wish the continuation of it.
Well the evolution of it.
If I want to use TAO's OS I don't need the DE, if we're to use Linux (like in Collas's times) the interest in the Amiga itself disappears.
Hmmmmmm yes I suppose so. But Collas wanted AOS on top of the Linux kernel - when most people think of Linux they think of a distribution like Mandrake or Knoppix. Unless you are a kernel programmer you wouldn't realise that Linux was under the cover in Collas' grand plans. ( Except everyone would tell you ).
What it seemed to me was that the people that bought AInc. bought it for the users, to get a users base for their own products. The Tech Updates, or whatever on the begining clearly showed that.
I totally agree with you. That is why the only reason I havent long since flipped the bird at A1 and AOS4 is because it is not Amiga Inc that are really truly behind or in control of it.
But then I am going to try and put a foot on both sides of the fence and buy into MorphOS/Pegasos too because I don't trust Amiga Inc not to flamingo up AmigaOS4.x future beyond 4.0.
