This is from AW
As long as i had talked with both michal and m0ns00n on IRC, it looks to me like it is their intention to give a full look and feel amiga, in short: libraries, devices and so on; even the graphic system, beside being based on xcb, looks it maybe might use part of zune or a similar philosophy, plus i remember they told me is expected a partial API compatibility with aros.
I am more concerned that people might think that because of anubis aros will be neglected and forgot; being an open source project,it might be taken over by somebody else, plus anubis and aros have different targets: anubis aim more at new machines while aros has also old hardware as target reference. The two projects can convive and interoperate (AROS can run hosted on anubis as far as i know); probably even attract more developers to an amiga-like approach to programming, thing that so far is kinda hard due to the lack of documentation and tools.
More than else, i reckon Michal say that being amiga an history of lost occasions, he want to make Anubis OS what Amiga os 4 or even aros should have been. Sounds a bit like what apple did with os-x, having even the old sandboxed os-9 in the earliest incarnations of os-x; considered that a leap is anyway required because even the new os4.1 still has its problems i see it as a good move.
I honestly support both, but my main focus now is on aros; is the closest to work properly and will be one of the foundations (license allowing) for its son. Just IMO we should support all amiga os incarnations at least emotionally: been outside of amiga environment for some year and when i came back to see how things were going, especially due to aros progresses, i found a severe fragmentation; i would like more to see all systems doing some kind of cooperation inorder to enlarge the applications range and, hopefully the userbase under all the Amiga OS incarnations.
