Not the transcript, just a cut and paste job from elwood. Readable tho..

Typical, get Hyperion to do the hard work making 4.0, then take it all out of their hands again :-/

Welj, they do say they will honor Hyperions rights. And AFAIK, it always was the intention to buy back the rights of OS4...

[seer]

If we're lucky they'll buy it back. I read it to mean that OS4.0 will be the absolute end of AmigaOS as we know it. He obviously left it open for interpetation, but it seemed pretty clear to me...

Well.. So far he mentioned Amiga Anywhere, said they didn't call it Amiga DE, brought future OS dev in house (sounds like dev allready started), are using AOS as a base (more or less) for an "Internet OS" (?) that's why they bought a "storage technology" company..

Could mean lots of things..

[seer]

Unless Bill and Fleecy learned to code in the last 12 months, AmigaOS is dead.

Garry, I'm sure you've presused the forums in preparation for coming here. Is there something you'd like to say to everyone here today that might give some hope, if not
details, for the future as it pertains to AmigaOS, and not just AA?

Garry:
wegster - I think I've done this, several times. We are interested in an "internet" operating system. We support the desktop. We hope OS 4.0 does well. We support AA on AmigaOne. We are proceeding with product development. What else can I say?

BTW i submitted the news about the Eyetech interview and the followup from Garry Hare.

I was firts !! I submitted it firtst !! Really !!..

ERm.. What Eyetech interview.. /me reloading aw..

[seer]

Interesting read. Though if one reads the original transcript, I'm surprised how they could come up with the conclusion that OS4 has been canned.

Pft.. The same way as everybody read Red's comment and jumped up and down screaming.. about nothing really.. Did you know lots of people read but can't read ?

Sure, I see what Rogue is saying, and the other thread Red made was far to much, the thread on AW should have been cut off way before it got to were it is now.
