 You know.. i used to have exactly the same opinion with you until i read a very disappointing post from a hyperion team member, elsewhere. In which he admits that: The drivers of the classic version are a total mess, mediators are not supported yet thus the beta runs on AGA(?) and C/Bvision equipped PPC Amigas (which is good enough for me ;-)) and last but not least that very little time has been invested in developing the classic version of the OS... *sigh*
 Iirc, the classic development has been halted lately and only the A1 still progreses, but i'm not sure about that. IF this is true, it's horrible!

No logical answer whatsoever has been given to as of why Hyperion haven't released OS4 beta for Classic PPC yet

Indeed, many answers were given, but none of them contained any common logic. They prefer to wait for some basement soldering instead of selling OS4 to hardware that is already there (CSPPC and BPPC).
They will always find new stupid reasons *not to sell* what they have been working on for 5 years. Idiocy must be part of the Amiga-curse I guess...

 I believe i gave some clues about this in my previous post on this thread. And to add some more drama to the already tragic "OS4 for the classics" situation: One of the most well-known OS4 classic testers, Ryu, has recently left the Amiga scene.. I'm sure he had his reasons if you know what i mean...
