Subject:Re: AMIOPEN: The Windoze SDK

I think this thread has almost come to an end...for another few weeks :)

About the Money to Microsoft issue- the people buying the Win-hosted SDK
already have Windoze in some form (otherwise they'd be using the
Linux-hosted SDK) so they've already payed for it (or maybe not). The point
is that, yes, Amiga is writing some software that happens to run on top of
Windoze and Linux and whatever else. Yes, they are spending a bit of money
on something that could be called a Windows applications, but its only a
step. (And I think there will be a lot more 'Amiga' in this than the ability
to launch AmigaDE from the 'Start' button.
