Over at amiga.org, the signature "takemehomegrandma" has published a somewhat satirical post - for your enjoyment, here goes:
I want to apologize that the AmigaOne has still not been released (A1 mobos+OS4). I also want to apologize to our competing companies that we have accused for crimes in public without being able to back those accusations up with either proof or legal action. I also want to apologize for not keeping our promises to you developers who bought our expensive SDK's. I also want to apologize to the users who bought our coupons, ehrm, JOINED OUR CLUB, but has not been given anything of the promised. I also want to apologize for the confusion when our offices suddenly were empty and our phones went dead (but that was a result of hackers, remember). Amiga Inc is truly a global 24 hours a day company and the future looks brighter than ever for our beloved AMIGA. We are pleased to announce a Games Pocket Pack to our friends Micro$ofts Pocket PC. This truly shows what a great commitment our 3000 content developers has to our beloved AMIGA. Wonderful things are about to happen as allways. Thank you, as allways, for your support. Keep the AMIGA spirit, and remember to follow our trademark wherever we go. We are AMIGA. You are AMIGA (if you pay us 50 bucks). We will be back with more exciting announcements during the next weeks. See you then! /Yours McBill
Well, there you go. Merry christmas!

"Season's Greetings from Amiga HQ": Hm? : Comment 192 of 220 | ANN.lu |

Sorry but as far as I could see, the MorphOS feature list is far more complete and contain far more interesting and usefull information to make a choice than the AmigaOS 4 feature list which is a bit too short and not enough detailed IMHO. So read the MorphOS feature list more carefully. Because saying what you say I really wonder if you have looked at it, I mean in its detailled form available in PDF and Text format (cf MorphOS-News.de)

Look better, I don't think you've looked at everything in that aspect. Otherwise you won't say that.
And for now as far as I could see, Thendic/BPlan/Genesi have forfill all their promises contrary to Amiga Inc for example. The Pegasos is here and MorphOS too.
