The more I read the more I see that the real hampering of progress is not the hardware or software developers but Bill McEwen himself !!!!
The whole Amiga Inc, as we know it, was a dotcom scam. Had he and the Sheep Lord gotten their act together earlier, they could have been far more successful with DEad with the vast amount of VC that was floating around then. They started this too late in the bubble cycle and couldn't get the devs onboard as much as they tried to enfluence Amiga Community that AOS was dead, DEad was the future. That's when they started to do a hack and patch job on AOS to gain additional revenue and had to real road plan as 3.9 was released. Sales were dropping an they needed income so a poorly thought out OS4 replacement was given a go. Now A1 disaster and OS4 which seems to be fragmented of ownership, Amiga Inc is trying any song and dance to stay alive. So no, it's just not McBill that is hampering AOS, AI is rotten to the core.
And no, M$ has Linux to worry about, we would be luck for M$ to even know AOS/MOS/AROS existed. McBill needs M$ for DEad. M$ doesn't need McBill nor DEad.
