Ok, here we go.

The first thing I though when reading about this was:


AWESOME! THIS KICKS ASS! ... (put randan exclamtion of extreme surprise and excitement here).

Unfortunately, a bit later my brain took over.

What I now think is: this is a brilliant piece of work,  but I fear it's to no avail. It yet ANOTHER bedside platform. If it supported AOS, it would be awesome - for me, for us.  As it is now, it is an interesting platform for embedded solutions.  Only problem: WinCE is already there. My company buys machines with WinCE as embedded OS on the it's terminals and user interfaces, and for partial control of segments of the machine (it's a project of a "4" and 6 zeroes behind it).

So while I admit is technically great, and exciting, and everything a geek likes to see and hear and would love to do, I can only imagine what addition your work to the Amiga market would have been. Imagine a "new classic" hardware, imagine the software-work gone into OS4 itself or into a project like Firebird or Java for Amiga or even OpenOffice for Amiga...

I am sorry that I am not giving you an enthusiastic answer like I wanted, but thats my point of view. Even worse, I fear that some programmers might actually be interested in your work and help you; which would mean a great loss for the Amiga scene.

I see it as another thing that might split the Amiga scene even more. Its really bad with OS4, MorphOS and AROS already...
