I'm getting really sick and tired about all that OS4/MorphOS stuff.

AmigaInc? Well, instead of spending time on looking at what the competition does, maybe they should do something themselves instead of speaking empty words. Weren't they announcing at latest Amiga show that they are 18 months behind with AmigaDE? So how long do they exist? 2 years or 3?  It's quite easy to make conclusions, i think. Nobody even knows if there are still people working at Amiga Inc (how can there be if you are 18 months behind shedule)?

MorpOs? Well, they are parasites, claiming not to be interested in the Amiga but there is not one day they don't appear on the Amiga news sites. They have one of the most unpolite and damn rude people at the "top" (hum if you can call this top). But this does not say anything about the product MorphOs of which we know very little (no screenshots, no specs,...). It may be good, who knows? The MorphOs followers have put it in a very bad light imo. But again, it may well be good, so judgement when it is released.

This whole MorphOS - OS4 battle has made the Amiga platform a very sad platform to be interested in. While i have made the good decision not to visit ANN again (never), it is not fun anymore. It's damn right depressing sometimes. Luckily there still is the unbelievable and often very funny Amiga.Org forum, otherwise  :-x

Why not spend all that time on OS4 and make it a kick-ass product. Then you have OS4 and MOS and OS4 will show why it is called an AmigaOS. :-)

Honest, I do not have any opinion about this MOS/OS4 battle. I will see what happens.

>There are really OLD books out there one of which
>ifI recall contains the OS1.2 source code

And those books are the most important. .

While the Linux world is forming the “United Linux” alliance, the Amiga world plagued with division and infighting.    

Can’t both MOS group and AInc group form a new united company with each entities has a stake in the new company?

Anyone for "United Amiga Inc"(i.e. UAI for short)?  

This proposed united company will be run as a committee and the voting power (also corresponds to revenue proportion) is determined by the level of cash injection/investment into the new entity.  

1. Bplan group (under banner of UAI label) can cover central (including Germany)/Eastern Europe and Russia.
2. Eyetech group (under banner of UAI label) can cover Western Europe and the Untied kingdom.
3. Who wants to cover this The Middle East region?  
4. Who wants to cover this Asian region?  
5. AInc group (under banner of UAI label) can cover North American region?
6. Who wants to cover this South American region?  
7. Who wants to cover this Oceania region?  

The development teams(i.e. Hyperion and MOS) will be run like MS i.e.

One group does the Windows 9x R&D (focus  on consumer OS side of things), while the other group does the Windows NT R&D (focus  on enterprise OS side of things).

They may need an IDE and Office developer partner.

They combine to form WindowsXP product range (i.e. Home, Workstation, Sever, Advance Sever and ‘etc’).

The new product range implements the original “Windows NT” style program (i.e. available for PPC, Alpha, MIPS, x86 and etc), but with virtual processors (i.e. ether virtual 68k or VP solutions) to unite different CPU HW architectures.
