AmigaOne != Amiga just because someone wants to call it that. MorphOS runs Amiga software, AmigaOS 4.0 reportedly runs Amiga software. There is *NO* AmigaOS 4.0 software, so what the hell is the big fury over that?

AmigaONE=An amiga because it is officially supported and licensed by AmigaINE, it does not make it better though, but it is an amiga, wheter you like it or not. Pegasos is not an amiga, but pegasos heh   ;-)

If Microsoft (Amiga Inc's "major partner", remember?) were to create an x86 system and call it "an Amiga", would that make it "an Amiga"?

Yes, if amigaINC supported it yeah offcourse it would... Why is an ibm a ibm? why is a gateway a gateway? It is just the name... the name has nothing to do with what kind of hardware it is.. even a mac is mostly a standard ppc clone this days..

Hyperion doesn't even have an Operating System and if they did, it will be HyperionOS, so I won't even fight that section of the argument.

Well, dont you think that Amiga os 3.5-3.9 is a AmigaOS? AmigaINC did not produce that OS themself either,  Haage & Partner did... The orginal AmigaOS was not done by commodore either, it was done by some british company...

AmigaOS was developed by the Commodore-Amiga team, only some parts of CAOS were behind schedual, so MetaComCo (some British company as you put it) grafted parts of the TripOS Kernel into AmigaOS, this became what is now known as the dos.library.

well... who cares about who made it? It turned out to be a damn good OS, and that is not just because of its name.

I still ask again, is AmigaOS 3.5/3.9 not a AmigaOS?
