    Some corrections and remarks:

    > In the early 2000 bPlan and Genesi (I think) announced the Pegasus PPC computer
    > and MorphOS

    1. The Pegasos was announced in December 2000.
    2. Genesi wasn't part of the picture back then. Not even was its "predecessor" Thendic-France, which came into play only in August 2001.
    3. MorphOS was announced in December 1999 by the MorphOS developers. First release was in August 2000. It was never a bplan product although it was supposed to be one of the two main OS for the Pegasos (the other one being Linux).

    > Hermans from Hyperion also joined in the bashing, claiming that MorphOS was based
    > on stolen AmigaOS 3.1 code

    Yes, but let's not forget who really started this claim:

    https://morph.zone/modules/newbb_plus/viewtopic.php?forum=3&topic_id=7824&start=32

    > and that it was trying to ride on the "future success of AmigaOS".

    To be more precise, the specific claim was about "unfair and parasitic competition", referring to MorphOS' ability to run m68k AmigaOS executables.
