yeah, amigamad, it's kind of a shame that for users wanting an alternative desktop that most of the software for QNX is developer-oriented and mainly for the purpose of developing non-desktop products. I can't fault QNX for not having pursued the desktop any further down into the Amiga community black hole though.
What happened with BEOS was another one of the tragedies for those wanting desktop alternatives. We'll see what happens with the spin-off efforts, Genesi is working to get at least one of those happening on Peg.
