"This means that MOS users will be able to run Java applications"
Not necessarily; the contract specifies that the AmigaDE must be ported to the Pegasos, not MorphOS; the Peg also runs LinuxPPC...
If I understand it right, the porting of Intent
would be done by Genesi and/or TAO, and the contract merely allows AmigaDE to run on top of that. Atleast that is what I thought about it before..
