Have a look at this interview with Ben Hermans:

interview

It lists some of Hyperion's flawed reasons for not targetting OS4 at x86 ("Because then everybody would be using Windows instead!!!") :roll:

I just canĀ“t get where I've seen this topic before  :-D


 :lol:

The Frieden's should be happy that there are still so many people interested in OS4 after all this time of failed promises and missed deadlines. They should be happy that there are people AT ALL who are interested in OS4 on ANY sort of platform.

I wonder if that new website of the "true Amigans" would be so tolerant to allow people discussing such condemnable wishes (buying OS4 from Hyperion and running it on available hardware).  :lol:

And YOU should be grateful thats there's actually someone out there willing to put all the effort and dedication into keeping the Amiga OS going.


I am. :-)

That's why I wish that their effort and dedication is not completely pointless.
