 Well Guys
  This is a very complicated situation. I have been "lurking" on Amiga.org, ANN, MooBunny and all kinds of other discussion areas.  Everyone is taking sides... Very few people actually have SCOPE on the situation.  HYPERION is doing the BEST THEY CAN considering the resources ( which a bulk of the Ben Hermans interview is about) AINC has no money and is an extremely small company.  I have not been a big fan of their actions as of late like most Amigans.  The silence, the promises, etc.... As an exhibitor at most major Amiga shows the past 5 years I have come to know mosf of these people. Bill and Fleecy are actually really down to earth aproachable and likable people..  I've spoken via Live broadcasts with Hyperion and those guys are VERY COOL, FUNNY, and obviously Talented. They have single handeldy done more for the Amiga than most people outside of the original people like D.Haynie, Havermost, Petro, Jay M., RJ, and others..
  Give them a  break! They arent making ANYTHING on OS4 YET its probably COsting them money to do it!  As you can see from the interview the "Petunia" guy has had alot going on which helps explain the problem with 68k emu intergration. If Hyperion had funding I would be typing this on my A4000T with Cyberstorm PPC and os4.0!  They have to pay bills like the rest of us...
  As far as MORPH OS and GENESI... Hey they are doing good things! BUT THEY HAVE FUNDING!  Thats why things are happening. I dont know Bill Buck but he seems to have a head on his shoulders and a general good honest person judging from his posts. Also, the team they have from PHASE 5 who as far as I'm concerned - if it wasnt for them we wouldnt even be having this conversation!  PEGASOS is Cool so is OS 4, its amazing this OS is still in exsistance. BE OS had tons of money poured into over the years and look where it is, in the can.. These people like Hyperion, A inc, former Phase 5, GENESI, and others are the reason Amiga is still competitve and a great platform. I'm writing this on a Titanium IBOOK but perfer my PPC 4000T!
 Keep up the work guys.
