Why spend the time on learning Linux if you already know Windows.

And all those Windows developers who want to develope for Amiga can

Keep in mind that those "laggards" are developing MOST of the software

The other thing is that since Amiga plans the AmigaOne for December
don't you think they have alot of resources working on that?
And they have said from the beginning that Amiga would run on Windows.
