An interesting gesture, but why not extend an olive branch and create technology partners rather than soliciting dreams from end users?

I can't help but believe that Genesi is a hardware company that invested in the development of MorphOS to provide a delivery platform. In the absence of any alternatives this made sense -- 5 years ago. But today we have a fickle industry and a user base that is decidedly indifferent.

What's especially strange is that politics always seem to take a priority over commercial viability.

Here's a suggestion: agree to licensing terms with Amiga/Hyperion & Eyetech and open up a market. This doesn't discredit MorphOS, it simply offers choice.

Here's another: develop a low-cost micro system/consumer appliance that people keep *begging* for - the MegaPC is a perfect example. This market needs a $500 platform - unless we hit that critical threshold it will remain a curiosity.
