Hyperion tell us they will  be pushing OS4.

Elbox adds more fuel to the flames.

Then AInc announce OS....5?

This smells like they lost a court case allready.
No AInc. on CES list...LOL, perhaps hey are not announcing themselves but have made a deal with someone else who is on the list.

Mmmm.....food for thought.

12 months from now, I'll still be using OS X and always thinking to myself, that OS X and what the Mac is now is what Amiga could've been if things didn't go down the pooper all those years ago.



Yuck!!

If Amiga OS was like OSX, I'd be using Linux!

Save the Amiga!!        .... from Mac users. :evil:

No offence, but I hate the Mac OS comparisons. You just can't "get under the bonnet" with a Mac like you can with the Amiga. It's not the same beast at all.

Sorry but that's ridiculous. Have you ever tried to get under the bonnet on a Mac? If you had, you would realise that it is entirely possible, even moreso than Amiga OS. Mac OS X is essentially BSD with a pretty face. But the guts of BSD is still there. You still have root access, so you can do whatever you want.


Maybe I should have worded that better. Try this: Getting under the bonnet of a Mac is not as much fun or as intuitive as an Amiga. The Mac gives you the tools but if I could be bothered to play with a Mac in this way I may as well use Linux.

That statement is contradictory. Mac OS X is more similar to Linux than it is to Amiga OS. Getting under the bonnet of Mac OS X is similar to getting under the bonnet in Linux.

Yes it is, but Linux is free. Therefore, I may as well use it in preference to Mac OS. Not contradictory at all, just economics.

@ Nlandas

We all expected that one I think.  :cry:

I'm looking for AInc to die aout now. .... :madashell:
My hopes must now lie with Hyperion for a real Amiga OS, at least they whant it to live.

Ainc. =  :horse:

If they show us a "better than OS4" Workbench, I might be impressed.

We will see...

I agree..... but I whant to see it. The Workbench should be at least as good as OS4 in order to convince amiga users that the product is wothwhile. If this is not the case then what advantage over UAE is there?

Doesn't the court case amounts to is Amiga Inc(KMOS) saying, thanks we'll pay you for what you've done - now we'll take it from here.


I think that's down to the courts now. Hyperion would not agree with your view I am sure.

However it turns out I would just like to see some movement in our somewhat stagnated platform.
