Don't know about you but I hope no-one outside the Amiga community gets to read that!

What a bad interview.

Why does Bill not know if the AmigaOne is shipping!?

"I guess...."

What is a 64K?

An OS4.0 enabled machine requires some form of hardware license i.e. dongle...

Does he even know what he is talking about?

Really disappointed in this.  It has really shaken my faith in AInc.

Ok.

Excepted you could mistake 68K to be 64K, due to 64 being a common number when dealing with computers.  I doubt it is a typo though.

What you can't explain is...

ET: Is it shipping?

Bill McEwen: I guess it is now, but only with Linux on it. It has been shipping in limited quantities...



Why doesn't he know if the product is shipping?  I know it is nothing to do with AInc but come on... I am pretty sure M$ft know when Intel ship new chips etc...

Bill McEwen: OS4 is the next version of the Amiga OS, it's a total rewrite of the operating system. It's brand new from the ground up, rewritten for the PPC hardware.


Eh? As said before this is wrong...and directly contradicted by later statement...this is unacceptable.

Also where does he think that there are 7 million of us?

ET: After our news story, we had a pretty strong posting on our website. Our member said that Amiga OS "will apply some form of hardware-license mechanism, a dongle to his hardware."

Bill McEwen: That's untrue

What!?

Very unprofessional.

It is a shame as he does have something cool to talk about...like the way the community is still around and that Hyperion/Eyetech/MAI have worked really hard to get to where we are...

What is done is done though... :(
