Now we only need a PalmOS version of DE/AA and Amiga will get really big!
It seems like the chances of ever seeing that happening are severely reduced with these "news". If that would happen, that would probably result in MS saying "no thank you, we're not interested in distributing your stuff any longer."
"Amiga
Anywhere" is not interesting to MS, "Amiga on MS PocketPC/Smartphone" is. The whole idea of AInc adapting Tao's stuff was to allow selling/running the exact same binaries on any platform with the DE/AACE installed. Clearly MS have no interest in selling someone else's apps to people who use platforms from MS's competitors, like Palm users. This distribution deal must be regarding AACE apps/games for AACE-on-MS-platforms. Bye bye "platform independence."
Also, while this is a potentially good deal for AInc, and the developers whose games/apps they distribute, it has nothing to do with AmigaOS. There's no funding or development of that from the trademark licensor AInc.
"The Amiga name and boing ball will feature heavily on the packaging." OH YEAH, ejaculation is imminent, how utterly fantastic news! :-รพ
