All I ever wanted was to get some hardware and run AmigaOS4 because I enjoy using the OS. I have a microA1 with OS4 and use it regularly, dabbling in some programming for it which is also enjoyable, but the more I see all of this embarassing stuff going on in public, it seems the Amiga name really is just a joke and it isn't going to go anywhere. Not that I didn't see this coming, but I really wanted to be part of the new OS and see if it could be moved forward. With what I see from Hyperion, things look pretty good.
We all knew it was coming. A company that keeps a name
and don't do anything with it for so long can't be much
more than a joke. They were not interested in the Amiga
OS in the first place, and when they suddenly became
interested they create a licencing scheme that makes it
impossible to find a suitable hardware.
And finally when "the grassroots" work their asses off and
comes up with atleast some hardware namely SAM then Amiga
Inc. declines them a licence.
Acube teams up with Hyperion and Amiga's next move is to
quickly team up with another party so that they can steal
the show.

Oh yes what an effort you made there, I am astonished
that Acube and Hyperion is capable of being this silent
after this announcement of an announcement.
Nothing new being stated here. It's just a shame this supposed 'community' has come down to this. I really hope Amiga Inc don't blow this sponsorship spectacularly because to get bad press for something like that (which could spread fairly widely mainstream in the US) would be the final nail.
It's not as the community invented this hate just by itself
really. Credits goes right back to Amiga Inc. And what are
they going to show at the Amiga Centre. Cell phone games ?
We will be a even bigger laughing stock after Amiga brings
attention to themselves via the Amiga Centre. They have nothing to show it's just words.
Just a bit depressed about this stuff. Time to move on but I'm keeping the A1 as I still love using AmigaOS, it's just awful seeing such opportunities squandered, basically from 1985 on. :cry:
Normal service will now resume.
Atleast we have AROS.
