@anarchic_teapot

To the best of my knowledge, Bill Buck and Raquel Velasco own several companies in France and abroad.  Said companies made several million dollars last year according to financial reports.

What's so difficult to understand here about their starting a new venture?  Oh, wait.  Your comments are intended to create fear, uncertainty, and doubt.  Erm.. FUD for short.  Got it.

@amigamad,

Certainly a valid choice, but you can also run Linux on the Pegasos if you choose to do so.  

I personally have ZERO use for Linux, but wouldn't mind helping to beta test AmigaOS 4 or MorphOS either one.  I am always good at finding bugs with things that others don't.

It's not as though I'd be able to do much else with either until software starts becoming available.   Well, software aside from the several games and packages that come with the Pegasos that is.

Much the same as it was when the first Amiga 1000's were released, you should remember, AmigaOS 1.0 and 1.1 were effectively betas as well.

so this proves that AmigaInc will only take the shirt off your back while Genesi will give you one to cover your back  :-P
