Well. Go ahead. Having WindowseXP or some variant of Linux with new PC could give you some healthy perspective to real world  :roflmao:

Question is, if they taste the real world, will they want to come back again to here?

Well. At least  I'm here and I know some others who are coming back if something potential enough materializes. I  expect there are many others too...  

Since Commodore collapsed I have been using allmost all OS:es available to X86 (OS/2, BeOS, various Unixes and windowses). And I got back (spring 2001) cause I was hoping to have New Amiga..  

Lately  I have been  having Windowse PC for work and Linux PC for network server.. and I still wanted something different for use as a personal system.  I really can't expect my latest purchase (Pegasos) to replace either of them right now (perhaps ever?) but at least it'll gives me chance to have something with personality.

So best solution seems to me that the *new* management cuts the IP to AmigaOS 4 loose and let Hyperion use the name Amiga International to market OS 4. ( if anything is true from the last couple of days)

 
I wonder if Hyperion would really apperciate to take on the
entire marketing / distribition and most importantlly,
indefinate development of AOS4 if it came to be. .....

 I'm not saying they couldn't do it, only that it's probably not the development they'd prefer (my guess).

Agree on both (they can do AmigaOS and it's not likely their main target in long run).

Unfortunately, unless Hyperion finds some other willing company to take care of AmigaOS future, they are now stuck to it cause it has become highly likely that current Amiga Inc can't make ends meet and get things running in a way new OS requires.

So, either Hyperion  keeps developing  Amiga OS onward or it once again gets abandoned. And quite frankly I do belive they will have a lot to do even after first version of OS4 has been released to CSPPC, Aone and others (BPPC and perhaps Shark?). There will be a lot work on fixes, upgrades, drivers for new hardware etc..
