- Here's some food for thought
-
- Why doesn't C= make a port of windows NT for the amiga. I'm not say that
- we should use NT as a replacement of AmigaDOS, rather that they make an
- "emulator" that understands Windows NT commands and can make it work on
- the amiga. Supposedly, NT is portable to many platforms and that programs
- made to run on NT don't need to know about the hardware it is running on.
- Nt programs just need to know Windows NT, and the windows NT program takes
- care of talking to the OS/hardware. This way, programs written for NT
- would work on the Amiga with little or no conversion problems. This assumes
- ofcourse that NT catches on.
