And YES the first version of DE was being talked about with the name OS4.
I honestly don't remember that part. I remember it being touted as a "self-hosted" capable thing which could be Linux or Windows-hosted as well, which ended up being only Linux/Windows hosted and never self-hosted. But I don't remember it ever being named anything other than AmigaDE until the newer AmigaAnywhere name. I do remember talk of adding AmigaOS as a foreign host at 4.something (higher than 4.0, either OS4.2 or 4.5), and some full integration for OS5.
I was never privvy to any of those roadmap handouts or anything you mention in another post, so may not have had access to some things that did claim that OS4 == DE at the time. If that's the case, I appologize, but I honestly was never exposed to anything that referred to DE as OS4 and find it hard to believe.

@billt
There is another thread called "Reality Check" that is better suited to this discussion.
And even if the first version of DE was being "talked" about with a different name it doesnt make it anything different itself, it was never a PPC port of 3.9 with extras.
