Three options:

1. You use the stoneold beta (somewhere on the net don't ask me).
No Ambient more bugs less features than the Peg-version and
will start to crawl after 30 minutes.

2. You wait for a current version to be released. This is supposed to
be (allmost ?) free, but since it would also bring a bigger and not
so fanatic audience to the OS Genesi have to be sure that it runs
o.k. on all those countless different HW-configs you might get on a
"classic".

3. You develop interseting SW, and you might get a current dev-version
or maybe even a Pegasos for free.
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

Maybe because they know that they will never be able to make a profit
by selling desktop-computers ? But they could make a profit selling STBs
and XXL-PDAs if they got some good SW for them ?

Good SW comes from developers, and gettting those is the key
issue in this tiny market, not selling 1-3k desktop-machines to an
obscure community.

Sure you get more for a board than it costs to produce, but how
many boards would you need to sell to finance all your staff, the
licences for MUI,TurboPrint  ..... the trade-shows and events, the banners
development of the April and maybe even all the money bPlan invested
before you came into the picture ?

I'm quite sure that only non-desktop-HW could finance this in the end.

Oh and instead off fighting the trolls it might be a good idea to
reply to my post over at ann.lu  ;-)
