In reply to Comment 14 (bbrv):
Hi all,
Apart from running Morphos, which is far from being finished compared to XP or OSX or even Linux, there's no point of having a Pegasos.

If you've a Pegasos that mean that you're interested in Morphos, if you want more OS's on it, it means that Morphos do not fill all your needs.

All OSes that are being ported to the Pegasos are already available on any cheap PC box. Everything that is possible on Morphos is possible on Linux. Why Linux, because you have the source code (could have been xBSD) and do what you want to fit your needs (ie the business you're after...). Same thing for Morphos but only for Genesi/Bplan/Morphos Team.

So if you want to use any other OS than Morphos then buy a cheap PC, a PC is not something owned by Microsoft or even Intel, you can buy a PC based on an AMD processor if you want to. Some of you should wake up, the war is over since a long time and nostalgy is not good for business :)

In the opposite if you want a Pegasos to have fun then go ahead you'll surf on your Pegasos and play on your game console.
I prefer the OS4 way of thinking, they want an AmigaOne for OS4 period even if you can run Linux on it, they're not after a port of all free/opensource OSes, they just want you to run OS4 and provide or will provide nearlly all software needed.

Believe me I'm also a nostalgic, I still wish that a 3rd OS (right now Linux don't count for me as a desktop OS) to come up. I use Windows and MAC OS, every day at work and none of them are as enjoyable as my Amiga was but that's what people use in companies.

It will take a long time before any other OS than Windoze or OSX have a chance to make a viable market if ever. BeOS was near, but they made a big mistake because of the Internet (.com/BEIA)

Even Apple is on bad shape, I work for a very big company doing QA and they're dropping MAC development. Hazy once said that if Apple didn't stopped the MAC clone then their market will be bigger by now.

Does Zeta, OS4 or Morphos will survive in their very little niche only the future will tell us (I don't have a Yoda beside me ;)), but right now none of them are viable... (if available :))

My problem is that I know people that worked for Viscorp and so I tend to do not trust bbrv, I also read bad press about them on a french paper so I'm pretty pessimistic about genesi, but hey people can change, can they ?

PS Am I a little bit off topic ? :)
