It's really been an Amiga week, hasn't it? As such, it seems only fitting to close this week off with some seriously epic news from the Amiga community. As most of you will know, Hyperion and Amiga, Inc. have been embroiled in a tough legal battle over the distribution and development rights of the AmigaOS, and all its associated trademarks. The epic news is that this situation is now completely and utterly resolved.

But really, all this means is that Hyperion should now be able to spend more time bringing OS4 up to par with Morphos. The presence of two Amiga-like OSes with companies fully able to focus on their development behind them can only be a good thing for both, driving each to strive for better speed and higher hardware and software compatability.
One thing that would be good IMHO would be if Hyperion, the Morphos team and the AROS team were to sit down and hash out a POSIX-like standard that defines the basics of an Amiga-like OS, so that programs written for one could be easily ported to any other. The availablity of more apps would surely help all of them.
