John, the only way to jump to 2.0 for Commodore would be to run a 1.x line as well as a 2.x line. Commodore's bread-and-butter appears to be, for now at least, A500 sales. Those sales will drop dead if all current software is broken. In the time needed for the Amiga software industry to convert and recoup, we will lose many developers, owners and potential owners. DIG should be developed, but not by breaking everything. Let Commodore simply make a STANDARD. Most people would be happy with some Super-VGA-quality addon, something with 16.7 million colors, while those wanting more will probably want a frame-buffer.
