Remember, Commodore at that time was plotting on abandoning the classic OS for Windows NT.


This is a really good point. When you think about it, it's a good thing that Commodore went belly-up when it did. I am sure that none of us would have wanted to live in the radically changed, "post-intuition" world that could have come from the above mentioned event.



Actually, that is not true whatsoever.  CBM were planning on doing a console (that's the first thing hombre would have gone into) that didn't have an opertaing system at all (none of the games developers used it anyway, so what's the point?).  But your desktop/workstation amigas would still have been using Amiga(D)OS.

If WinNT was available for the CPU then they would have offered it as an option tho'.
