Probably. But I don't expect we will see a standalone product any time.

ANY time? Do you mean any time soon or ever? If you mean ever, i'll be very glad to point you back to this thread upon the release of the CSPPC/BPPC version of OS4.

OSX has been available on just abotu every P2P network for ages. It doesn't affect Apple, as the cheapest PPC hardware to run the thing on is an Apple...

It's a clever marketing strategy, that the Amiga cartel has yet to figure out.

I understand that this was only a glib comment, but I feel the need to point out two flaws with this statement. Firstly, the AmigaOne is the cheapest PPC hardware to run OS4 on, because it is the only hardware to run it on at this time. Secondly, the group of companies providing OS4 and the A1 are not a cartel. Dealers are independant and free to charge whatever they like for the A1&OS4, but they of course have to charge more than the wholesale price. Just like every single other item on sale.

So to simplyfy things - no Apple do not suffer because OSX appears on P2P networks.

Thats not quite true...

No, its just that sometimes people come to forums like this looking for information, and the nature of text based communication being the way it is people could think you were being serious. Lastly, if you wanted me to laugh, maybe you should have said something amusing.
