I can confirm that Amiga has full support from Tao to integrate the AmigaDE into AmigaOS. :-D

QNX Neutrino is a fantastic kernel, and would have been a good basis for a new Amiga-like OS. Photon, the GUI used by QSSL isn't anything like AmigaOS and was never really intended to be used as a basis to build an Amiga GUI.

QSSL has some very smart coders, but one thing bothered me when I attended a QSSL conference in Eindhoven. When they demonstrated Quake Arena running on QNX RTP, Dan Dodge (CEO) stated that they ported this because Amiga fans are mostly fond on games. His tone was a little degrading and I had the feeling that he was making fun of the community...

Some people from another company, called Millar I believe, also confronted Dan for his attitude towards the Amiga community. Fact is that most of the gamers nowadays own a Playstation and the remaining people are often computing professionals, like graphic artists. I don't like it when he spreads degrading tones towards our community during their world tour. Tao executives show far more respect towards our community!

well, you know, it's not that amiga with Jim Collas and Co. showed much respect for QNX either. I actually understand pretty well why they are bitter about Amiga and the community now..
