Just what the HELL is Bill doing ?

Hmm, I read "Bill" and "www.microsoft.com/..." and thought you spoke of Bill Gates. But then it was Bill McEwan ...
:-P

(PS. Confusing when he speaks about Amigas "rich history in video and film work" in the context of the DE stuff, isn't it?)

Anyway, after that long tirade, I just want to take my hat off to Bill Buck for sticking with an alternative OS based on what most of us agree was a very fine product in AmigaOS. (MorphOS is a salute and a continuation of the ideals of that product -- as is OS4, by the way.)

But what is the DE then?

If anyone thinks that Buck has mad a ton of money-- or any money yet-- on this product, the thought must come from madness. I am very greatful to him for supporting this site and ann. I am looking for the same support from AInc.

Hmm, I have a feeling that they (AInc) are more into "backstabbing" the old longtime community sites rather than supporting them ...

And I have a feeling you can't back that up at all.

It's a feeling I have since recently.

You might want to search for some other threads as well from aound that time.

And I whish that some people would not be so eager to buy every single thing without critical reflection, just because it's sold by certain people. More critical thinking is needed. More debate. More discussion. Not less. Not one voice only, all others censored. But of course everybody is free to buy whatever he or she wants. And perhaps some people really *wants* that "one truth only, everything else is censored" thing, and is happy about that? Then fine. But I still get a repulsive feeling about that, and I would like to make a stance against it.

BTW, it's not products I am speaking about.

And what exactly is OS 5.0 from Amiga DE Inc, does it have anything at all to do with the real AmigaOS (3.1/4.0)

Shouldn't we wait to see when/if OS4 materializes before even *thinking* about OS5? Just my two eurocents ...
