Well, a unification of Atari and Amiga concepts would make one kickass computer.

@Karlos

TOS sucked, yes.  But MultiTOS is another story, closer in design to UNIX or Linux than TOS ever was.  Think of MultiTOS in the same relation as Windows vs Windows NT.

@Cyberus

MultiTOS is a UNIX-like kernel (called MiNT) that runs TOS in a virtual machine.  So you have two sides, the UNIX-like MiNT and the TOS-side for legacy apps.  

There are TOS-replacements, allowing totally GPL'd MultiTOS workalike OS's out there, such as FreeMiNT and SpareMiNT, including a way to emulate such on foreign hardware.
