Winux or Lindows, that's how I see it. You probably misunderstand DirectX, when you see it as an additional weight. The contrary is truth, DirectX is allows you to run the software on any hardware. Although you may say: "this" is our hardware, and we don't need to support the rest, that "this" will be stopped on production after some years or even months, and your whole "emulation" well be lost, since you will have something like the real Sam - something industrially unsupported anymore. > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Aley Keprt [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Sent: Monday, October 23, 2000 12:36 PM > > To: [email protected] > > Subject: Re: SAM 2000? > > > > > > > > > I think our best bet is to forget about the hardware bits and just > > > concentrate on the kernel and the new SAM OS.
