H&P had begun on the AOS4-project early last year (maybr even earlier),
but when AInc went out of cash last summer they had to stop it.
Probraly they also knew what was going on at Eyetech regarding
the AmigaOne(.0), and lost faith in it (with good reason i think).
They began working on AmigaXL, but when they saw Amithlon,
they decided to bundle both (Amithlon is far superior to AmigaXL IMO).
AOS4.0 will more or less be something like 3.9PPC, so its not
a big problem for Amithlon-users. Things may change with AOS4.2,
but also nobody knows what Haralds and Bernis are up to and
what kind of connection they got to AInc.
