Why does this sound like AmigaDE all over again and not a full OS?

My guess is that it's AmigaDE ported to Inferno, Java or QNX.

Not to sound like a wacko but what is the difference between Apple and M$ business model??


Apple is about dominating on their own systems.  Microsoft is about forcing other companies to bend to their will and dominate other companies systems.

Apple is not a monopoly for it cannot dominate the marketplace of system vendors so long as it only controls a system it makes.  That is the key difference.  Don't like Apples systems, buy from someone else.  Don't like Microsofts system, well, meet the Windows tax and the bs that goes with it.

Back on topic - AmigaOS 5 is AmigaAnywhere 2

Reghardware on AmigaOS 5

So it will apparently run Workbench and all apps in a layer over top of another OS. So is custom chipset emulation possible as well? If so it could be interesting to run it on new hardware. I'd hope that they'd work with VMWare to be able to run it without another host OS though I guess we could run it over a little Linux Kernal.


What Workbench?  This is a whole new OS, no compat with the classic is involved.
