It did make me think.
Is it really worth the wait. I know it is just around the corner, but it have benn for quite some time now.
Any way not to annoy any one, but MOS 1.0 beta should be out now.
Maybe that is the way to go, if amiga don't finish AOS soon.

Just my opinion.

@Wayne

No none of it is really worth spending money on atm. but the Xeon Xe (??) board with CPU modules, and Pegasos with the same, would be worth a little more once the new CPU modules arrive.
Any way, if the Power4 PPC are as good as stated, then it would be interessting to hae a CPU module with the Power4.
And as Mac will be using them, there will most likely be CPU modules with Power4.
And it would only be in the Amigas interest to add support for that.
It seems to me that most amiga folks would like to have as much PPC power as possible.

But ATM it seems as is MOS will have the advantage, it will be released first, and the Pagsos already use CPU modules, this would give them quite an advantage over AOS4.0 on the A1.

Amiga Inc is failing.
As I see it, they don't really support the desktop market, this is IMHO where they should focus theire work, not with PDA and cell phones.
Any way I really don't think that amigaDE/anywhere or what ever will ever succeed.
To little to late.
Focus on the desktop and get more user to the platform. At least Thendic is trying to do this.
IMO Amiga Inc has abbandoned the amiga for something, though called amiga, has nothing to do with amiga.
