Hahaha........ I think that this is pretty good News. In a recent interview om BBC Newsround (news show - aimed at children) a girl griiled Gates, and he turned around and said that he didnt think MS would last forever, that they will eventually go bust, because the face of computing will change... maybe he heard about DE - sorry AA!

They've invested a load of cash into Apple - obviously so they can say "hey, were competative" Apple has gained grounds! Such an investment in Amiga will also help it along! MS is on the way out - there gonna become like IBM, omnipotent, massive, owning lots of different things - but not actually doing anything. They'll just sit back, let there folio of companies do there thing, and rake the money in. Computing is dead, long live computing...

When was the last time you bought an IBM branded product. IBM are loaded - they own things. Its those individual companies that they own that does the stuff. IBM themselves sit back and rake the money in, and there's nothing wrong with that. Obviously they must be doing things to aquire those companies, but IBM themselves source technology, its the firms they own that develop it. I see the same happening with MS.  :-P

JetFireDX,

Your sceptism is valid - but I think with all the flak that MS is getting at the moment from the courts, they dare not appear anti competative. Perhaps they will scrap .net in favour of AA? Amiga is a privatly run company. As far as I know MS couldn't mount a hostile takeover. Even if AA burns on windows, it should allow doors to open on other platforms, and give the Amiga platform back, the respect which it so deserves.
