I prefer to use the label, "HyperionOS" personally.

You can call it whatever you want, but Hyperion have the legal right to call it AmigaOS, and it is a continuation of AmigaOS. Call it "SausageCustard3000MooBlahBonkWizz" if you like, doesn't stop it being AmigaOS.

In name only my friend. There is nothing more "amiga" in HyperionOS than what's in MorphOS or AROS.

Except that it *actually* *is* AmigaOS, and is a continued development from the OS that shipped with Commodore Amigas. But even if it wasn't, it wouldn't change the fact that legally it is the only OS allowed to be called AmigaOS.

BTW, my loyalty to OS4 is only down to the fact that i genuinely really like OS4. The two things are separate, i am merely stating the facts.

No it's not, it's a rewrite like the others.

Yes it is. I know because I have access to the source code. Hyperion ported AmigaOS to PowerPC. While doing so, they replaced some components (like Exec), and enhanced others.

This is beside the point, though. Even if it was a rewrite, it would still be AmigaOS, just like MacOS X is MacOS because Apple say so.

ExecSG is not a continued development and did not exist before the OS4 project began.

Your point being?

Of Intuition, Workbench, and the shell - only Hyperion really knows how much - if any - of the original code was actually used.

I actually know! ;-)

The fact that much of it was written in 68K assembler really strains credibility that any of it was particularly useful, and Hyperion developers have said as much.

A lot of it was C. As I recall (and it wasn't secret), it required 3 different C compilers and an old Sun workstation to compile without changes in its original state, though.
