No, it'd be 4.2 - because 4.0 is the OS that doesn't even scratch
the amount of work done on MorphOS (i.e. looking at that
article in Amigactive, you can check off the components in
MorphOS against the ones in 4.0 - 4.0 comes off worse for
wear in most regards)

4.2 might actually be slightly impressive, with some "unique"
components that we've never seen the likes of before.

4.2 is, however, quite some way off yet.

As for Don Cox: it's not about H&P being dishonest. I happily
buy products from dishonest people. It's about H&P not having
a collective clue about how to code a decent application (I cite
ArtEffect, StormC and OS3.5's Reactor GUI development tool
as major examples) enough that I feel confident in having a
single member, full-time or freelance, of their silly "partnership"
coding something that I might want to use every day.

And when they don't code decent applications, they're quite
fond of stealing them and reselling them. Now this may well
be a genuine mistake all 3 times it's happened, but I've never
once seen anyone from H&P actually admit that in public.

How many people here think the AmiTCP/Genesis/OS3.9 thing
was actually resolved? Hands up..

.. mmm.. quite a few. Would it be a shock to you if I said that
nothing of the sort was done? Would it be a shock if I said
that when H&P said they were "in talks", they did nothing of
the sort?

Thanks
