Also, here's (http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2008/01/07/ces_amiga_os_5_surfaces/) some kind of article about it.

edit: Interesting tidbit "...we discovered that AmigaAnywhere 2 is AmigaOS 5."


edit: And since the press release isn't on amiga.com, here it is on Reuters (http://www.reuters.com/article/pressRelease/idUS20451+07-Jan-2008+BW20080107)

Amiga, like Apple, are official partners with Microsoft and have been for a good few years now. These days Amiga just develop their AmigaAnywhere and little games for Windows-based hardware.

There is no Amiga OS being developed as far as I'm concerned (no evidence of this), the days of official Amiga hardware made by Amiga are long gone since the Escom days and the Amiga as we know it is dead. The only chance Amiga has of even remotely being a contemporary CULT computer is if the community develop the hardware themselves and Hyperion choose to continue OS development and get the official license sorted for the OS to run on the hardware.

You might want to ask Bolton Peck and a few others about that one, Mate.  :madashell:
