o Wayne, what would you have Amiga Inc. do, simply port Amiga OS to the X86 platform. Talk about suicide. The only OS's that can currently survive on that platform is Windows and Linux. How can Amiga OS hope to generate revenue on X86 when BE couldn't even gain market share by GIVING THEIR OS AWAY.
Actually, from what I remember (perhaps Gary can help me out here), BeOS was abandon by Be just when it was really taking off for this stupid DC/IA/PDA/Cellphone/* Stinger OS since they were going to ride the wave. Remember that wave, the one DE is suppost to be riding on? If anyting, X86 increased the numbers of Be users and developers. Stinger, drove that entire group of users/developers away from BeOS.
I have no idea what you think is so magickal about PPC that will keep people around to use either OS4 or MOS. If anything, the short term gain by using PPC will be the boat anchor that drowns the OS in the long haul. It's great both OSs want to run with the big dogs, unfortunetly, they have this load stone called PPC that will grind them into the dirt.
