So far lots of people have replied to this one phrase, but I feel the need to now as well, so...
Casper:
I also think there's so much bad blood between the two "factions" now so MorphOS for A1 would be like a sign of defeat for them now.
As JoannaK said, that's a pretty oracular statement to make at this time, Casper. You don't know how good OS4 is or how it compares to MorphOS. There is already a huge gulf in their developments and OS4 won't run on an A1 for God knows how long. It may be that in the actual end users will actively beg for MOS, regardless of Genesi's stance. Better than linux for months, anyway.
AmiWest doth cometh. There we'll have a better idea of the relative merits of each, even taking the hardware differences into account. If I can be oracular in turn, it's pretty likely the defeat will not be Genesi's.
