Look at recen PC Worlds, and lookit whats goin on over i the MesS-DOS, Windows world. PEN Windows, and the new GO systems, pen pad. They will have opersting sytems BASED around this technology form the ground up, with pseudo 3D GUI and a lot of other niceties. I doubt Atari will really go the whole 9 yards with this. They have just jaded me too often in the past. I have STacy, so I know what Atari doesn't do right :^(! As far as VME video for the MEGA and TT. Yes you can have VME video, but so what. with no attempt by atari to form any reasonable enhanced video support ala 32bitQuickDraw, all intensive graphics software will have to go through loops (PC type drivers etc.) to run on more than a few boards.
