What Amiga Center...;-)

OS 5 ?  :lol:






















 :-D haha

[DariusB]

We have 2007, years of promisses, years of nonsens, years of nothing, years of destructive activity are gone, how the hell people can ask anything about OS5 or even think it can be true that a simple line of code of it is done.

It can´t get in my head that someone is asking this question? sorry AmigaInc. news esp. on announcments by this company should go direct to the trash not posted anymore.

@DariusB

100% agree, Darius.

OS5 is like the blue pill that should keep us all in wonderland.  :lol:

I  think 99.9 % doesn't belive or care anymore. But Bill
said 'Bohoo' and that's what we are questioning "what Bohoo
COULD mean" not that we really care but it keeps a thread going.

OS5?  ohhh to hell with that, its OS6 I am looking out for.

[mingle]

OS5?!? Be real people...

Those feckers at AI couldn't produce a fart after a baked-bean eating contest, let alone an OSX-beating operating system!

:roflmao:

Worarya trying to say... :lol:

QNX Neutrino would be in many ways superior to the Mac OS X provided it could be brought to the desktop world in an elegant way. It would also give A Inc the ability to scale from embedded devices  all the way up to server class equipment.

The question remains however, is A Inc the kind of company to make it happen? That is another matter altogether..

I think os3.1 is better than OS5 will ever be.

[little]

is A Inc the kind of company to make it happen?

Let me answer this one, A inc is the kind of company that could be in front of a sedated elephant with an ak-47 and not only fail to kill it, but fail to hit it even once.

Shut Apple, Microsoft and A. Inc in a room with a can of petrol and a match. Apple would make a really easy to use petrol fire that was ultimately very hard to alter, but did what they wanted really well. Microsoft would try and copy it but get it wrong and cause an explosion... A. Inc would probably put the match out by drowning it in the petrol, but claim they had plans for a really good fire, and they'd get it burning real soon

As for OS5. It's not going to happen. If it does it'll never be a patch on OS X, Vista or most frontline Linux distros, and it'll be so late it'll be out of date, just like OS 4.

jarroyo,

I have been speculating and trying to piece together how in the world Amiga Inc. can claim to have a new OS, so called “OS5” in what can be perceived to be a relatively short period of time with limited resources, and claim that it will be better than Mac OSX.

I'll let you in on a little secret: Bill is full of that which comes out of a bulls a$$. Hope this helps...

"OS 5 is ahead of schedule, and we will be making public announcements concerning the product in the 4th quarter of this year."

Good thing too, since this *is* the 4th quarter of the year! Though I wouldn't put it past Bill to be dumb enough to have said they would announce stuff in the 2nd quarter of this year.

Let's be honest here if there really is an "OS5" it's probably a version of Linux with a new user interface, that looks Amiga-esque. That's what apple did, Un*x/Open Darwin underneath and it was portable to many different platforms.  

That's an easy way for them to not have this happen, they could claim compatiblity through E-UAE, re-work the art in the gui of some windows manager, and since you can easily port amiga apps to and from Un*x platforms they will say it beats Apple's OS..

AmigaOS 5 in reality would not have any relationship to the code in OS 4 and would have a web browser, open office, and could work on intel or powerpc chips..

Gee what a plan, have someone in in India and Sri Lanka rework the art in the windows manager, and boom you have an OS that runs on multi-cores and multiple cpus. All with little investment or work thanks to the open source community and the backs of their labor and a system outside the European community and the USA.

Other advantages would be you could have Mono and the .NET framework, and it's moonlight plug-in that would give you WM9 and DRM support and VC-1 codec support.

No more hard to please Amiga developers.. Gee why didn't I think of this earlier and get Bill to go for it.. I could have made a fortune just doing art on the windows manager.

Plus I don't have to deal with patents copyrights etc..

Wow... Could this be OS5 aka LINUX?
