Sb: I've defected!

Hi all.  I'm back.  I've "defected".  I bought a friend's Atari 520ST just
yesterday.  It already has a second 512k "strip" to bring it up to 1-meg RAM. 
Just tonight I went to a store that is clearing out its Atari stock (yep
another one is going to be 100% IBM compatible just like Tandy did). Right now
as I type this, I'm testing a 16-MHz 68000 "Turbo16" upgrade *with* Instruction
Cache sorta like the pipeline effect in 386 CPUs.  That board was about 2/3rds
the discount price at this store!  I almost bought Dr.T's Tiger Cub MIDI
system, too, since I have grown weary of waiting for Mike Knudsen to
incorporate the functions we need in his Ultimuse-III.

So ... I'd like to know the status of Atari/OS9?  And whether it has the
windowing system available yet?  I'm serious ... someone try talking me into
buying it.  And maybe someone can give me some good reasons to keep my CoCo? 
(like is the Level-II upgrade seeing the light at the end of that proverbial
tunnel yet?)

-- Thx, Paul Seniura.
