Amiga OS 5 prediction

[DonnyEMU]

Let's be honest here if there really is an "OS5" it's probably a version of Linux with a new user interface, that looks Amiga-esque. That's what apple did, Un*x/Open Darwin underneath and it was portable to many different platforms.  

That's an easy way for them to not have this happen, they could claim compatiblity through E-UAE, re-work the art in the gui of some windows manager, and since you can easily port amiga apps to and from Un*x platforms they will say it beats Apple's OS..

AmigaOS 5 in reality would not have any relationship to the code in OS 4 and would have a web browser, open office, and could work on intel or powerpc chips..

Gee what a plan, have someone in in India and Sri Lanka rework the art in the windows manager, and boom you have an OS that runs on multi-cores and multiple cpus. All with little investment or work thanks to the open source community and the backs of their labor and a system outside the European community and the USA.

Other advantages would be you could have Mono and the .NET framework, and it's moonlight plug-in that would give you WM9 and DRM support and VC-1 codec support.

No more hard to please Amiga developers.. Gee why didn't I think of this earlier and get Bill to go for it.. I could have made a fortune just doing art on the windows manager.

Plus I don't have to deal with patents copyrights etc..

Wow... Could this be OS5 aka LINUX?

Do you really think it's about this community honestly or is it about A Inc making money.. As far as the embedded space you forget that the "embedded space" india company you are talking about makes windows mobile programs (just like A Inc. makes games for that space). So your argument really doesn't hold water in the "embedded space" they are using an embedded maker to produce the prototype and someone else to do production. They'd have to used embedded because of form factor at this point anyway. Doesn't mean it's capable of being an "industrial quality" RT OS..

I figured my prediction would cause outrage. But honestly we don't call MacOS 10 "Darwin x86" even though that's what it is with a Mac Style desktop windows manager system and some extras..

So how would an Amiga OS 5 based on linux not do the same things?  

They have to make an architectural leap at sometime. Seems like it's time to me..
