Last I heard, 1.2 will eventually be bundled with Amigas. But currently, this poses two problems: (1) There are certainly a number of 1.1 disks currently in the pipeline for release. Reworking these to 1.2 would be expensive and probably an overall waste of time, since (2) as a new release, there are still some things that have yet to be upgraded to 1.2. At least some programs out there "cheat" at something in the OS, and as such, don't run properly under 1.2. If I sell you an Amiga now with only 1.2, there's a good chance that you won't be able to run a number of programs out there (no idea how many…). I imagine after 1.2 has settled into the Amiga community, replacing 1.1 as the most used OS, it'll be the one packaged with the Amiga. It currently is the only version C-A supports, and the way of the future — it definately will be packaged with new Amigas at some point in the game (I'd guess early '87, leaving enough time to get 1.2 in the hands of everyone who currently owns an Amiga. This is JUST a guess). -Dave
