Quick Gary Hare IRC report, no more 3rd party AmigaOS after OS4.0.

[redrumloa]

One thing that's been made very clear is that all future software development will be brought inhouse. IE Hyperion will NOT be producing OS4.1+.

16:07] what is the future of what we today call the AmigaOS technology? It only has a minor role on the new amiga inc website.  Will there be an OS4.1, 4.2,.. etc?  Will there be an OS5 based on the current amigaOS codebase (and not amigade/amigaanywhere)?

I think I answered this.  We are interested in operating systems.  We moved future product developemnt in-house last August.  We do not publicly speculate on product development

Unless Bill and Fleecy learned to code in the last 12 months, AmigaOS is dead.

A bloke I worked with in London in 1999/2000 said he worked with a bloke back home in Scotland called "Fleecy Moss", and this Fleecy was a masterful genius at coding.

Whether it's the same fella I dunno.

Sure it's the same guy... you do know that "coding" is Scotish slang for Bullsh1ting, right? ;-)

Typical, get Hyperion to do the hard work making 4.0, then take it all out of their hands again :-/

Welj, they do say they will honor Hyperions rights. And AFAIK, it always was the intention to buy back the rights of OS4...

If we're lucky they'll buy it back. I read it to mean that OS4.0 will be the absolute end of AmigaOS as we know it. He obviously left it open for interpetation, but it seemed pretty clear to me...

He had no reason to make it up though.  He knew nothing about Amiga's, and up to that point knew nothing about my interest in them either as I'd only just started working with him.

Mark (the scottish bloke) was a Java programmer though, which as everyone knows isn't real programming! ;-)

Well.. So far he mentioned Amiga Anywhere, said they didn't call it Amiga DE, brought future OS dev in house (sounds like dev allready started), are using AOS as a base (more or less) for an "Internet OS" (?) that's why they bought a "storage technology" company..

Could mean lots of things..

Java is to programming, what etchasketch is to art...

wegster:
Garry, I'm sure you've presused the forums in preparation for coming here. Is there something you'd like to say to everyone here today that might give some hope, if not
details, for the future as it pertains to AmigaOS, and not just AA?

Garry:
wegster - I think I've done this, several times. We are interested in an "internet" operating system. We support the desktop. We hope OS 4.0 does well. We support AA on AmigaOne. We are proceeding with product development. What else can I say?

C, C++, asm or dead. Nothing else counts. Java is a programming language proper and might be the pinnacle of aspiration for script kiddies, but give me a healthy dose of of the others any day :lol:

Your prose is like poetry to the ears of a geek like me! :-D

I can assure you that the future of AmigaOS 4.0 is quite safe and secured back in November of 2001.

Continued development of Amiga OS is certain provided there is sufficient financial return.
