I'm shure a few people are scratching their heads why they didn't release OS4 for Mac in the first place,


I'm sure that AI sees potential in many market places that it would like to keep to itself. What I don't understand about AI is why they don't take advantage of these markets and profit by selling new licenses to exploit markets like these old Macs.

If AI truely was able to write OS5 on it's own, it would do so and make the current lawsuit all about yanking Hyperion's license. Instead they seem to be trying to get the OS4 source as well. Why? Are they unable to write OS5 without it? (many of us think so). Or are they just trying to make sure OS4 source doesn't get out into the wild as moana appears to have done. I agree that OS4 (at least the kickstart kernel) on Mac doesn't help Hyperion's case.
