Sorry to say, but I guess Ben Yoris (ex PR Manager
of Hyperion) has a bit more insight-information than
you. So if something is coming from him it's not FUD
or anything.

1. How do you know that it was Ben Yoris? How do you know this wasn't someone else claiming to be Ben Yoris?

2. Even if it is Ben Yoris, why isn't he an employee of Hyperion anymore? Was he fired? If so, why? Perhaps that could be a motive for not telling the truth?

But then Hyperion can just clarify this and say that
the OS4 launch is as announced in March 2003 at
CeBit.
 

They got better stuff to do than clarifying rumours all the time. I've seen quite alot of Ben Hermans on ANN where he clarifies every single detail over and over, is this really what they should do instead of working? Well, I don't think so. Please just accept that this is just a rumour as long as it hasn't been confirmed.

Relax guys, this message is being taken far too extreme.  It was a warning due to a french reseller claiming that AOS4 would be shipping in March, when it's release date would be announced in march.  A simple clarification to try and not cause a major situation later on.

AOS4 is a major project, and is near a year from completion at least from the way things look.  Don't expect anything else for a long time now.

Till then, please feel free to troll.

Obviously you do. Like I said, someone claiming to be Ben Yoris and have insider information is hardly proof of anything. Now stop feeding the rumour mongering.

Amiga, Inc. said they would have the launch of OS4 at CeBit in March. Does launch mean shipping or released or finished?

Launching a product is releasing a product, I seriously wonder how it could possibly interpreted differently. The OS4 announcement was made quite some time ago now, the final feature set was recently locked, how could the launch on CeBit just be an announcement of an unfinished product? How could their global AmigaOne & OS4 marketing campaign throughout 2003 only be about a product that isn't ready for release yet? I'm sorry but what some guys are implying in this thread simply doesn't make sense. It's just another speculative rumour based on yet another claim of "insider information". We've heard it all before. Move along folks, nothing to see here...

No, it's a pity some people are so easily fooled into believeing every rumour they hear or read about.
