Things are getting strange ...

 :-? I really don't think this is a great idea...  Is this info already confirmed?  I really doubt Microshit is that interested in AMIGA...  Maybe is this just another 10 years old rumor...

 :pint: Let's wait to see the facts...

One word.......

JAVA

Need I say more? or do we all have short memories these days?

After reading some of the comments.

Amiga does have a say about being bought out.

And I can see Bill McEwen saying "Get out", after some MS exec's come into is office will a suitcase full of money.

They do have a say in these things guys, it is *there* company

Yeah, great to see the DE finally catching some hype and attracting more coders  :-D

[System]

Folks,

Now don't go reading more into this than there is.  Amiga are not selling out to M$.  You must also remember that the DE Player has been available on Windows for some time now, as has the SDK.  Many companies demo their products via another companies booth (botths are expensive you know), it's quite common.  Demoing at this show will be a great boost for Amiga.  So what if it will be on PocketPC devices and at the MS booth so as long as more people become aware of what Amiga is doing.

One can get much farther by riding the dragon's tail than walking there on their own.


Cheers,

Darin.

TO be fair, M$ looks at pretty much every product at the market at some point. When you have that much money you can research anything. However, I can see distinct problems, any technology that M$ looks at tends to get licenced and then re-worked as a Windows compatible only technology.

This stage may mean nothing, Or it may be the begining.. either way no matter what we write on Amiga org, the outcome will still be the same.

1. Microsoft want .NET on AmigaDE
2. Microsoft wants AmigaDE
3. Microsoft wants to kill AmigaDE
4. Microsoft wants to to something bad to AmigaDE
5. Microsoft wants WindowsDE
6. Microsoft wants to eat AmigaDE
7. Microsoft wants to make MicrosoftReversEngineeredAmigaDE
8. Microsoft wants it soooo bad, that AmigaDE
9. Microsoft wants to make IE for AmigaDE, so that the size get to be 12389 GB instead of 1MB
10. Microsoft just wants to kill me for making this list.

Think what would happen if AMIGA bought-out  Microsoft! It would be so cool :pint:

[System]

If Microsoft buys out Amiga and all the rights to names tech etc. then there wil NEVER (Never= as long as Microsoft exists) be another Amiga computer. b.t.w is it a Boing Ball i saw upon the My Pictures folder in WinXP

[System]

That would be bad, if microsoft learned to make apps, instead of bad promises, they`d own the world. Because then, there would be NO resistance

Non of this really matters, the Amiga died years ago along with Commodore. all Amiga Inc seem interested in creating is a Windows replacement version of Workbench. the Amiga performes better than other computers due to its system architecture, not just the size of the software. what i dont see anywhere is the answer to the following question, and maybe someone can put me right on this point, is the Amigaone true to the Amiga architecture (no i dont mean has it got the Amiga custom chips!). or is it just another pc  motherboard.
If its not true Amiga architecture, then forget this Microsoft buying Amiga inc stuff, because there wont be another REAL Amiga again anyway.
