If you look at Tao's corporate information, it tells us that its investors include Motorola, NEC, Mitsubishi, Sharp and Sony. They are all partners of Micro$oft. The intent SDK runs on Linux but it also runs on M$ Windows. If intent and Amiga are going to be successful, then their software must run on Micro$oft products. But it also runs on lots of non-Micro$oft products as well. And isn't that partly the point?
