I think most people will just be relived to get OS4, never mind if it has a future. I dont think it will be up to Amiga inc as to how OS4 is developed in the future, at least it shouldn't be, IMHO A inc is a sham they sell someone elses work with there name (DE) and get other companys to developer there more risky projects. Hyp now has the rights to OS4 so if A inc disapered OS4 will still go ahead. I think the current hardware locking is a HUGE mistake and is evidence of a firm that has no clue as to how the PC market works.
