Only time will tell on this....but they are different products with
different timelines right now..... OS x86 is surely behind OS4.x and
AmigaOne gives you the capability of backwards AGA compatability....x86 most
assuredly does not!

As DE is primarily targetted at non-desktop use....there`s no real clash.
Most users would not be satisfied with DE on the desktop as far as I can
tell.....Bill in fact echoed this sentiment
