Good grief yourself!
The best way for an OS to become viable in the market is *with* a piece of corresponding hardware. Linux is open source and that is something different. How many versions are there today? A closed source environment has produced a few more successes than Apple. Palm and Psion came to the market successfully because the hardware and OS went together and they did something new. And, why not consider Video Game Players as long as we are thinking about this...
Palm was the king of the handheld OS before CE. The first versions of CE weren't so good, but Microsoft threw money at the problems and that seems to be working. The iPaq has been very successful.
The key is to be unique as a package. Linux is what has created the big opportunity for the Pegasos. Hopefully, "amiga" can contribute to this success too. But, the next step is a combination of hardware and an OS that is dedicated and ready to do something new.
@ Anders
Of course, Versalia and KDE can be considered resellers. We are communicating with them both. We bought most of our Amiga equipment from Guido. How do we physically get product to them? That is just a matter of figuring out is the best and cheapest way to get the boards where they need to be. How will it be billed? Through Thendic-France. We are managing the distribution process. bplan has more important things to do now!
I am out of here this weekend. Thanks for all the emails!
Sincerely,
Bill |
