Any REAL news from the OS4-tour ?

Like the featurelist, basic system requirements, and screenshots? How much of Windows, Linux distros, the BSDs, Solaris or MacOS do you see before a new release?

A lot more than that.  Before Windows is released, there are reviews for years ahead of time on various websites.  There are streamed videos of how it works.  There is a tearing apart of it's inner workings and dissection of every click and mouse movement.

Before a major Linux distro update is released, it is given sneak previews by almost every major linux outlet, the same level of dissection as Windows *if not moreso*, and generally total analysis of the design for months beforehand.

Same goes for the BSD's and Solaris.

And *ALL OF THEM HAVE PUBLIC BETAS RELEASED MONTHS IF NOT YEARS AHEAD OF TIME.*

You're the one that asked, just remember.

So you finally accept that MOS used AROS rather than secretly stolen data tapes that Amiga, Inc had hidden in Merlancia's top-security hideout?

As for MOS using AROS:  And your point is?

So you are saying that former members of Phase 5 ( who later became the authors of MorphOS) were never given access to AOS 3.x source code by Amiga Technologies (or whatever it was called at the time) in the mid-90s?

I'd love to know, because I've never been given a straight answer on this. Is it just rumour or did it actually happen?

I've heard so many rumors about it that at this point I can't even keep them straight.  If you're asking me as an employee of Genesi, then you're asking the wrong person for I am not in the development nor the legal departments.  

But this does bring up a curious question in the back of my head:  How much of AROS's source did Hyperion use in order to assist their development of AOS4?
