He says AmigaOne and Pegasos are nothing special.
I agree if you compare them to the A1000 which was a revolution.

On the other hand the piosone project was a really similar product to the Pegasos or Amigaone. Nothing really special, just a cool upgrade path for Amigans: an Amiga wanabee project (they did not have the Amiga name) like he says about the Pegasos.

He is accusing Genesi to split the community while the PiosOne would have done the exact same thing.

He is also harsh with the AROS effort.

Reading him I can see that he prefers beos which is as JLG said "Amiga 96" but still keep interest on OS4 because it has the Amiga name.

Neither Amigaone, nor Pegasos are revolutionary hardware, neither MorphOS nor OS4 are revolutionary OS. The only revolution may come to what you can do with such small footprint OS running on a such scalable CPU as the PPC.

Also I think Dave failed to understand Genesi plans wich are not  to be the new Amiga, but to take the best of the Amiga to make new end user products that may be a start for a new revolution like the A1000 was.
