If Genesi owned the rights to Amiga IP

[Turrican]

Genesi had there chance to get os4 forpegasos but they blew it they might have products released but they do not have final versions of morph os yet .and hyperion are much more skilled at writing software than the morph os team .

1. Amiga Inc. had there chance to get Pegasos as their nexGen Amiga but they blew it!

2. With all respect I have for Hyperion and their work for porting games to Amiga and now the Amiga OS 4, I think the MorphOS team has the edge

All i'm saying is that if OS4 is that important to Bill Buck/the MorphOS users - why not buy the bloody licence and put an end to it?

Look, from what I understand, OS4 is not important to Bill Buck, or Genesi or the MorphOS users at all. The "Amiga" brand name is the one in importance here.

Genesi, already has the technology available to them (hardware + nexgen native ppc os + amiga combatibility).

They would only want AmigaOS 4 so they could legaly stick a nice "Amiga" sticker infront of their product so  the xyz ex-amigan who does not know what a Pegasos is, to recognise it as one! And there are milions of ex-amigans out there.

Now if Genesi play their game right (and they do so far) they won't need to pay AInc for that (and accept their terms). They use us (the community) to pass the word out, the Amiga shows globaly, the forums, whatever...

I have no doubt they will succeed their goals.
In the end the best product will prevail (like the original Amiga did) and not the name/brand. It might be harder at the start though.
