Well I think there is at least some difference if there is one OS "shipping" as PPC version running only on PPC hardware and a OS "shipping" as 68k version running only on 68k hardware.

With that argumentation you can also say that
MorphOS shipped in early 2000 (as ppc version) or it
was "in beta in 1997".

Yes, and they have had the wrong management and
therefore "Boom.". Happens really often, quite
normal. So what?

And lost all. Too bad. Which Amiga company will be
next?
