If ONLY, if ONLY these teams would unite and go for one OS - AROS of course ;)

Seriously, I whish this was the case. Too many admittedly good projects at once, and they will probably not make it to a notable status outside a very close commmunity. There are even more projects like these, like AthenOS. Just look at ShellCity.

An Aros with a good browser and OpenOffice and Java developed by these highly talented people... sigh...

But these days, everyone does "his" own little thing. Even the Amiga has two rivalling groups.

Sigh

SIGH


Have fun,

I agree it is a waste of resources to have so many projects doing the same thing... I will defend them by saying that variety is a good thing.

Sure it would be nice if everyone worked on AROS, but unfortunatelly everyone wants something different from an OS, which is why we have these projects.

I would appeal to them though, and ask that they attempts to pool resources on things like drivers.. if we had a common driver interface that would benefit all projects...

What do you think about UDI?  Good?  No good?


Cheers for the link, I'm reading it now :-D

Some things I note about UDI is the large SCO input, that immediatelly makes me cautious of such a system and the rather conspicious lack of drivers...

But it is exactly the sort of thing we need.

I'm going to start a new thread on this driver topic.
