Sorry, I have to say this again for people who either don't listen or haven't heard: Amiga Inc. wont *ever* support Pegasos, that much is absolutely certain. That means that OS4 won't run on Pegasos hardware, and Pegasos/MorphOS won't run on an A1. Not ever.

I haven't looked at the video, too big for me to download (its not really suprising though, since most Pegasos supporters are German and have t-DSL). I'm not really interested, either. I'm not (directly) dissing the Pegasos, but I'm as disinterested in it as I might be of a new flavour of UNIX or a new compile of UAE, sorry.

And anyway, you haven't seen OS4/A1 run yet. If they release a video, hopefully it'll be smaller. And better. And maybe it'll have a car chase in it. ;-)

I'm not mad ;-), its just that I'm a little fed up of hearing the same old things.

AInc said they'll support Pegasos if they're allowed to, but they won't be. No chance. The reason is cold, hard commercialism, and maybe a little bit of ambition and spite thrown in. The day bplan allow AInc to write an OS for their precious Pegasos is the day demons start having snowballs fights in hell.

AInc and bplan hate each other. If you hear Ralph Schmidt ranting venomously about "people with no Amiga experience doing an OS for a cheap ppc board" or the Friedens going on about how they "are as interested in MOS as they are in BeOS", you'll realise that there isn't going to be any settlement soon.

And of course, there's always the chance Hermans will pull the plug on MOS by citing Amiga source copyrights... You can imagine that wouldn't go down so well.

BTW. I don't read ANN any more. I'm fed of looking through 300 repeated-repeated-repeated flame threads to see a few that actually say anything I want or need to hear.
