The history of home computers during their brief period from say 1981 to 1994 was dominated by computer and computer manufacturers operating system being one entity. With the exception of the Mac nothing really survived after Commodore went to the wall. Microsoft dominated because they didn`t make hardware. [ I discount consoles ]. And that is how it is today. More likely is the prospect of an independant OS manufacturer creating an Amiga style interface to run on most standard machines without the need for custom chips. The chances of there ever being another true Amiga is probably zero. Times have moved on and the demand is just not there. Sad I know, but at least some of us lived through the era of 81-94 and can reflect on just how truly wonderful a period it was if you loved computers. ' We were spoilt rotten '.
