Well, yes and no. Elate can run non-hosted but it prefers an embedded
environment. What Amiga Inc is adding and enhancing are more related to the
products we intend to support (which are not necessarily embedded
products).
There is a world of difference between embedded OS's and Desktop OS's in
most cases. We intend to narrow that difference substantially so what we
produce won't care where it runs or on what (within reason).
