At least the ideas from developers and people are right. Hyperion has talked about plans for memory protection, SMP and so on. Since they are so silent and seem to work like crazy I'm wondering how much they are planing to do for the X1000 release? I hope that they don't work too hard on it meaning that they get burned.
I think that AmigaOS shall do things that people need most first and it seems that everybody agree on that. Timberwolf are being ported and Open Office is on its way too for example. A well working videoplayer or two, the OS features mentioned and maybe it will begin to grow.
And then there is the hardware issue. What hardware must be available? What price? What design? Quality... and so on...
I'm kind of thinking that it won't happen just to not get too disapointed should it fail but I'm following it with interest.
I see the chance for AmigaOS to kill MSwindows - one (the EU) must only want.
Sorry, but that's pure fantasy all the time it doesn't have a feature set that would make it possible. It'd take dozens of full time developers for several years before it could hope to have the features needed to even be an option.
Very true, but I believe it would actually be easier to build a "good enough OS" from scratch, rather than modify AmigaOS into one.
