Gerald,
I was not suggesting that *you* (Flex Radio) have to do anything about
making it work on out-of-the-mainstream platforms. But will DI be "open
enough" to allow people familiar with a particular "weird" OS to make it
work on that OS?

I have not idea if it will run on any or all those platforms but I can
assure you we will not be able to justify the engineering cost to qualify on
all those platforms unless there is commercial funding to do so.
But do you refer to those three operating systems merely as examples or as
the only three operating systems you will support? My impression from
earlier descriptions of DI was that someone with the necessary smarts would
be able to adapt DI to run on *any* OS -- e.g., Free BSD, AmigaOS (I
understand it still has aficionados), or even "the operating system for
which Windows was intended to be merely a placeholder" (otherwise known as
OS/2, which lives on in an OEM version, a new version of which was released
just weeks ago: www.ecomstation.com).
If by "platform neutral" you mean cross platform (Windows, Mac, Linux),
the answer is yes.
Much of what has been written here is over my head, but the one question
that springs to mind now is: If parts, at least, of DI will be
proprietary,
will it still be platform neutral, as we were earlier given to understand
that it would be?
