@Shades of Gray

Could you please shut up about OS5 this OS5 that.
I nkow about nothing about it and would be surprised if you know more. not even Amiga
knows for sure. Hasnt history proven time after time
that theese things evolve over time and may take any
direction (hopefully a good one).  And why do you
put = between AA and DE, they are not the same thing. I belive the DE is described in the Amiga World
aticles.. its quite a bit to go yet. From my understanding, the DE = OS5. If OS4 even will be
used as basis for this or not, we dont know.
it could be somethng completely different.
Nothing against that if that should proove
necessary (how is that word spelled ?)

So why not just enjoy the ride. The future will take
mysterious ways anyway

> I thought AmigaAnywhere was the DEplayer...

Yeah, thats about what it is.

But I can speculate and voice my opinion. I personally believe that AOS 4 will play a greater role in AOS 5 then Bill or Fleecy may currently believe. Lets face it, the real reason AOS 4 exists is because elate just doesn't have what it takes to be a full fledged desktop or server OS. We could very well see ExecSG from AOS 4.x rewritten in VP and become a processor agnostic kernel for delivering intent.

Yes, OS4 may play a bigger role, IF it turns out successful and Amiga realises they will need
to stay on the "classic" Amiga way of things.
(cause OS4 is more or less classic but for PPC).
There are lots of other kernels out htere, that they could use othewise.

Why do I put a "=" between AA and DE? Actually I put a "/", but that is beside the point. As far as I understand it, Amiga DE has become Amiga Anywhere or AA now encompasses DE. I'm not sure anymore... That's why I refer to AA and/or DE as AA/DE. They certainly are related and if AA is DE or DE is AA, mentioning both covers all bases

My take:
They realised AmigaDE was years ahead in time
for completition and not at all around the corner..
So instead of showing a tiny unfinnished DE lets
take the little part of it that is ready now and rename
it to AA. (The Player).
