The OpenAmiga platform is a great idea, but it probably will not work. Simply because we are not using an 'open' OS in the same way as the BSD or Linux people are.

The difference is that we have a company/companies behind the Amiga (which has advantages of its own) and basiclyit is the company who decided where the Amiga will go next.

BSD and Linux does not have this, because those OS's are a community effort, and the community itself decides which is the best route. Like Linus has said multiple times - if two ideas do the same thing, i let them both live and let the community decide which one will be adopted.

Perhaps somebody will come up with 'binary compatibility layers' which allows you to run applications from MOS on AOS etc. that looks like a more 'realistic' idea.
