What I remmeber is the "licence-exec-up" where McBill wrote that Eyetech
HAD a licence (suprise suprise), that Elbox,Matay,Merlancia "are in talk with us",
and there was "no reply" by bPlan (again suprise suprise).
If Elbox had allready signed such a licence, it would have appear
in the latest exec-up (you can bet my hairy *** on that) :-D
I think (fear) that Ben may be right, and that they are planning
some sort of WarpOS-clone, which would certainly be buggy and slow,
for everything except maybe PPC-games (which don't do many
context-switches).
