That sucks. Like so many companies involved with the Amiga, it is the old story of take advantage and then shaft :-x

If the MOS team can crack on with things without Genesi, so much the better, but where is the incentive if they are all owed wages to begin with?

@xeron

I believe it's simply a case of "showing one's true colours" on that front. As a "red" (other people's definition, not my own), I rarely ever expressed my views on Genesi - it would have invariably started another bs flamefest - but I always imagined they would drop anybody like a stone the moment they thought they could get away with it :-(

I really don't see apple sanctioning any rival OS for their hardware, no matter how outdated.

In fact they're more likely to hit anyone trying this with a lawsuit. People seem to forget that behind that happy smiling interface, theyire every bit as self-protectionist as MS.

Possibly. I can see that apple considered having a linux port as advantageous since it would allow their hardware to penetrate different markets where a rival OS has made significant inroads and there is no chance they could push their own OS in combination. Better to push half of the OS/Hardware combination than none of it - and the expensive half at that ;-)

What they would make of an OS like MOS is a different matter - outside of the amiga community, who knows about it?

I tried a version of AROS a while back for x86.

Which was nice.
