The Amiga RC5 Team Effort beat the OS2 team. If you have some CPU power you can participate to the effort to overtake the MAC team ;)

Amiga RC5 team back to the 7 position : Comment 1 of 10ANN.lu

I wonder if this could, in part, be an indication of OS/2 users jumping ship, perhaps? I used to crank on the earlier effort with OS/2 (back when I ran a NexGen PR100- Loved those keytimes even if I didn't have an FPU!) ... Not to argue over who's gaining/losing in the challenge and for what reasons, how many other big blue rats are scurrying back to Amiga, now that it's the platform making progress? I know I chose OS/2 because it provided an Amiga-style experience, albeit a little more bloated and memory-protected :) IBM seems to be trying to cut the strings for real and push Linux solutions, since they don't have to carry the full burden of development or support, and I admit to having low hopes for the companies looking to produce alternate 'distributions,' although some surprises might be seen. Project Odin (Win32 binary conversion) would be the platform's saving grace, but unfortunately it probably won't be ready until .NET-time. (Haven't checked in a while, so there might be some surprises...)
