What happened to p.OS ?
What happened to p.OS ? Searching for something in old amiga magazines I've found the p.OS prerelease test but couldn't find any statement why it was canceled. So were there any reasons published ?

I think I read somewhere that when Amiga wanted to do OS3.5 they did'nt felt there was a market for p.os anymore.
BTW, I would like to test the prerelease P.OS in WinUAE, if anyone had the prerelease CD, please share. |

Tried it today. Sad to see that it never became anything more than just a prerelease demo. They must have spent many late nights coding it. All the work for nothing in the end.

Many thanks! |
