    I know that page. But it's only a featurelist, it may not reflect the real development status one bit (I rather see it as an "ambition" list than a feature list). In fact, this text about the status of Ambient ...

    Quote:

    Status
    The version currently included in MorphOS 1.4 is 1.29. Development is currently suspended.



    ... suggests that the development actually was suspended after the 1.29 release (included with MorphOS 1.4, but lacking most of the listed features), which has been fully paid for AFAIK. I don't know, but this sounds pretty "idle" to me!

    Obviously, Stefan Stuntz has showed the work he has done on MUI since then, and BBRV say they might actually reach a deal for licensing that work. But public communications from BBRV suggests that the current status of *Ambient* is a lot more uncertain, at least they have not seen any of the progress(?) that David claims to have produced during any "un-idle" moments, which makes it quite difficult to evaluate the effort in money, right?
    MorphOS is Amiga done right! :-)
    MorphOS NG will be AROS done right! :-)
