I'm not happy, but you have to face facts... this is one of the funniest things I've heard for long time...

I don't own an AmigaOne or use AmigaOS 4 but I certainly appreciate the effort the Friedens put into OS 4.


I'm not actually sure what it is you appreciate... the Friedens didn't work on OS4 for you... they did it to make money... that's what Amiga Inc. want to do too. I have no problem with a company that wants to make money, but don't confuse what they are doing with altruism... you would have to look to an open source project for that.

Do you honestly believe that they made an OS from SCRATCH which has no hardware to run on for MONEY ?

that's not the easiest way to bang the bucks in my book !


Ok then, why don't they give it away?

I do not see why anyone in it's right mind could possibly be on AInc's side ?? Unless you absolutely hate OS4 and want it to vanish from the surface of the earth.



...or you might have had a run in with Ben Hermans and hate him and his  company.

It just seems somewhat fitting that A.Inc turned on thier one ally, just as everyone not blinded by Amiga lust imagined they would.

AOS4 is not part of that. :-)
