Seems the "booting-into-Workbench"-stories were either a bit
over-optimistic, or the result is still to buggy to be considered.

While it may be problematic to show a buggy OS(*) it is
(IMO) even worse to show only 68k-modules (again).

(*) As I understand this, they plan to really just show it,
instead of the "touch-and-try"-sessions that we have seen from
those whose names I shall not utter  :-P over the last 6 months.

Selecting stable apps and avoiding known bugs should be
dead-easy, aslong as the core OS (kernel,intuition...)
isn't the prob.
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

My guess it is OS 3.9 binaries running on ExecSG?


Hmmm, could be, but in that case I would strongly
suggest to edit the news-item as it would be quite
misleading.
