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...
