Absolutely, thats why we took the decision to not distribute or commercialise any software that is under dispute such as "OS 3.1.4" and "OS 3.2".

Will be a shame though, if no more AmigaOS development took place 😔 Was looking forward to AmigaOS 3.3. 🤞🏻 Something gets sorted

Its far to early to speculate what is going to happen and in fact its not Hyperion in trouble, if you read the document carefully it is in fact Ben Hermans BV which is the company facing liquidators and that company holds 97% of shares in Hyperion, Hyperion itself is fine and is an asset. So the actual proceedings has not been read correctly from the source linked above. It is simple business Symantec's at play here and it happens every day in the business world.

We have just ordered more copies of AmigaOS 3.2 and they are on their way to us and until there is a clear indication of what is actually happening we will continue to do so. Its been a while since we have had a big Amiga drama :-)

Well. Hopefully be able to buy a copy of AmigaOS 3.3 from other reputable resellers in the future such as Sordan.ie etc…

Please stop. We all know you have issues with RetroPassion, but please threads are going to end up trashed.
Lets keep it civil and on topic.

No worries. Just trying to put out a fair assessment that there are other resellers out there who also sell Hyperions Amiga OS products. Hopefully they too will not have any issues going forward.

Hopefully this Hyperion business gets sorted out and AmigaOS 3.3 get released. 🤞🏻This will sort out the issues in 3.2 and above. 👍🏻
