As much as the pegasos seems to be aquality product, the truth of the matter is that it is not an amiga.Nor is Morphos Amiga, though it is "Amiga like" to many people.It is yet not fully commercial standard product in my opinion either.Despite emotional reasonings, the Pegasos and Morphos machines are a competing product to the AmigaOne and when it is release OS4.
All that aside, the Pegasos and Morphos would have been the successors to the Amiga legacy by default.
You're missing some of the story for this..
That is of course until Amiga Inc. came along and bought Amiga Technologies from Gateway.I think you are a bit harsh on these guys in what they have managed to acomplish. Without them there would be no AmigaOne, and there would be no OS4 even in the state it is atm.OF course this could not have been done without eyetech and hyperion, but it was Amiga Inc. that made this happen.They have done more than any company since commodore with far far less resources.
Amiga Inc originally had no plans for AmigaOS. (They were Amino I believe, before they bought the Amiga stuff from Gateway.) Not sure why they changed their minds, but they probably got some kind of idea that there was a huge market for AmigaOS (hence why they thought the coupon sales would be much higher than they were.)
I really wish I had copied down the story when I heard it, but I believe it goes something like this: Amiga Inc and the people behing Morphos were in talks for MorphOS to become the next gen Amiga operating system. While the MorphOS people were waiting to settle some contract disputes, Amiga Inc signs a contract with Hyperion instead.
Perhaps someone can fill in the story better, but I can see why some of the folks involved with MorphOS dispise Amiga Inc.. They feel they were betrayed.
