How dead is the AMiGA OS this time?

[Cryten]

Hi

I just took out my trusty old Miggy (A4000/CSPPC etc etc) from the storage room, and I fired it up to see if it's still working. It's still running, and for some odd reason I felt like upgrading the OS, but there's still nothing out there to actually look forward to...

So, the question is, how dead is the AMiGA this time? I mean, is there anyting going on out there that may resurrect (the hopes for) the platform once more? For instance, who's the current owner of the rights to the OS (Hyperion, or some obscure company that promises to deliver what everyone else just made promises of for the last 10 years?)?

Could someone compact the last 2-3 years of hope/despair into a short post/reply? :-).

I know, I should have used the search function and I should have done my home work etc etc. Will the words 'I'm sorry' make up for that? ;-).

Some seem to suggest MorphOS, but as been pointed out by others, it seems to only offer a dead end that's very similar to the Amiga. That being said, it on the other hand seem to offer atleast a possible future where things actually will/might happen... Btw, from reading the replies in my own thread, I can see the question of MorphOS or not MorphOS is kind of an infected questions here ;-).

Even if Amiga OS4 was released for classic HW + PPC, and Amiga One, isn't that the very same thing as saying that it will be discontinued anyway? I mean, if there's no new HW to run an OS on, what's the point?

Is there any official statement (MorphOS/AMiGA OS) that the OS will be ported to ANY available HW platform?

Thanks for all the replies and views shared. It's appriciated .

I personally think that the only viable option to get a larger user base would be to port the OS to some standard HW that's already available to the user. The cheaper, the better, and what's cheaper than HW you already own? So, I think it would have been nice to see a plan to port MorphOS/Amiga OS to x86. Maybe AROS is the way to go, but the last time I checked, it was nothing more than a nice project (nothing wrong with that, unless you're looking for an OS).
