I won't be signing either.

The one big advantage of this system is that Amiga have the chance of making sure that the new H/W is 100% compatable and that the correct system compliant drivers are writen (OK maybe not Amiga themselves but Hyperion)

What is the one thing Amigans preach about our machines? Stability. The only way to get a very stable maching is to know excatly what H/W it is going to be running on. Take Windoze, one of the reasons it is likely to crash often is because M$ have to account for the almost limitless amount of H/W there is out there. They can't controll who makes all the drivers so you have some compaines taking shortcuts that the system doesn't like and the machine crashes.

This may well be a simplified way of putting it, but it is how I uderstand it and have been told.

Oh and BTW the use of italics makes it very hard to read in AWEB :-)
