Some people, even while being probably coders of considerable
skill, simply have no need for Linux, but indeed have need for
Windows. They could buy the Windows SDK without hardware,
but this wouldn�t buy them the support they might need and/or
expect.
For my part, I would like to see a d�Amiga with more up-the-scale
hardware (like Duron / Thunderbird CPU, much larger HD, 32 MB
gfx mem, the CL Live! Player 1024 and a DVD drive).
Voicing needs and questions is the reason for this ML. It�s an input
source for Amiga Inc. to see what�s wanted and needed. If they can
tend to these wishes without jeopardizing their plans is up to them.
Please do not flame people for their needs or requests, they will
probably have a good reason for this. And it�s a fact that many
people simply _need_ Windows (e.g. because they want to play
the latest in 3D gaming while they are not coding away...).
