No.

I dunno why everyone focuses on the AOS4/MOS said FUD ...when there is FUD about the AOS4/Haage&Partner thing anyway.

If there is, you're spreading it.

What does AOS4 have to do with H&P?

There is a dispute between AInc and H&P, but not about AOS4. It is true H&P would not release their source code to the additions made to AOS 3.1 in 3.5 and 3.9, but in most cases those were programmed by third parties who were free to negotiate their own deal with Hyperion for AOS4. There's no dispute about any of that.

As for the Pegasos, if anyone thinks I'll spend 1,000 Euros on a system whose details are kept a close secret, then they've lost their marbles.

As for the AmigaOne, if anyone thinks I'll spend 500 Euros on a motherd that has a solderd on cpu and runs Linux ... not even AmigaOS4 , then they've lost their marbles.

Absolutely. That's why I think both rival parties are offering a pile of poo at the moment.

My advice is rather than go wild and spend lots of money on a Pegasos+MorphOS of indeterminate quality, or buy A1G3SE+some future promised AOS4, is to sit tight and wait for objective and comprehensive reviews of the products.

If the manufacturers don't want to tell you what you're buying, don't buy anything until you can find out for yourself.
