I've been a registered AmigaDE developer for years, and now Amiga Inc drop this bomb on us? They've been _promising_ us that our developement efforts would be put forth in AmigaOS! they've been promising us this for years! There was 3000 of us at one point, and you've just alienated ALL of us! We've worked for NOTHING. LIARS! You've screwed us ALL over. Again!!

AmigaOS and DE integration CANCELLED? : Comment 46 of 93 | ANN.lu |

Even then, we're talking "AmigaOS" here. There is no other OS I know where
combining another desktop layer is more easy, not even Linux and that's OSS
(but has X..., not intuition and graphics)
Remember, we even do have WB replacements, say ScalOS, DOpus Magellan. So,
theoretically, what hinders AmigaInc. to just do that? Make AmigaDE a Workbench
replacement, do all their AG2/3.. stuff and even use the enhanced MP and other
features that will be integrated into AmigaOS4. They also could do bootable
CD's that just boot into an AmigaDE game. Whatever.
No I don't think AmigaInc. will do that to this extend, but that was
basically what should happen from 4.2 on and they even _could_ do it now.
And well, when we'll see AmigaOS4 in the embedded/mobile market or even on PDA's
it would even be a logical step for AmigaInc. not only to support WinCE but
AmigaOS. Only there won't be a function in any AmigaOS library calling an
AmigaDE API, but that's about it.
And yes, I expect AmigaInc. to stick to AmigaOS as an AmigaDE platform. Their
name forbids anything else ;-) |
