Ah, urban myth No. 125. Been quite a while since I saw that the last time  :-o

AmigaOS and and *nix have nothing in common 'cept they fact that could multitask 20 years ago. AmigaDOS and *nix, well I don't expect to see anything BCPL in an *nix-kernel ....
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

Amiga(D)OS is just as much based on *nix as BeOS is based on AmigaOS (not at all that is).
