Beeep wrong !!

MOS-0.1-0.4 did not use any AmigaIP on the source level, it
just needed to (binary) AOS that was linceced rto the machine
it ran on. Nothing wrong with that.

Does Genesi need OS4 ? I don't see for what as they have a OS
of their own, and simply don't target the die-hard "must
have the name" group as there primary customer.

What is a problem for Genesi is that the companies behind
OS4 are doing all they can to damage them, and that there aren't
getting 100% of the developers as long as OS4 still looks like
an option.

What do I think of this ?
Well 2 years ago some people decided that instead of putting
there "proof" in front of a judge it would be better to use it
in a dirt-campaign. Now they are getting back some of their
own medicine. Not nice but understandable, maybe even the only way
to put an final end to this whole disgrace.

I'm not even sure if Genesi are fighting for a win, or if they
just want to add further proov to whats been shown by the
death of Amithlon/Umilator:

AInc just can't even do simple buissnes without falling on their
nose and they couldn't even protect a bottle of water, let alone
their interests.
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

So if you don't get it all your way, sue the heck out of everyone.  


Same thing (minus the actual law-suit) has been done by AInc
and Hyperion for the last 2 years or so...
