Is Amiga Inc (KMOS) still alive?

[Hans_]

They are alive enough to continue to sue Hyperion Entertainment.

KMOS AKA Amiga Inc should be hit with a boing ball.  Why did Bill & Co. work so hard to transfer the assets and name to KMOS if they weren't going to use them?  Was it just a game to screw ex-employees and creditors?

It would certainly appear so, although they would probably prefer to call it "keeping the company afloat despite financial troubles." They can't say insolvent instead of "financial troubles" because then they'd be conceding that Hyperion is right, and they would lose the court case.* Bill is quick to point out that he was also owed money by the original A Inc. but, IMHO, that is irrelevant; they still managed to keep assets whilst screwing over creditors.

* the agreement between the original A Inc. and Hyperion basically states that, should A Inc. become insolvent, Hyperion can continue to develop OS4 and beyond on its own.

Exactly, and one of the reasons i think they lost the case before it even began, that and not providing the source code, paying 5 dollars less then the said sum and having bill himself saying they were insolvent in another court case.

Whats going on with the case now btw?

I haven't really been following it for a while. IIRC, they are in court-ordered mediation, and will soon have to set deadlines for ending discovery, etc.

can't Hyperion's lawyers ask that the case be dismissed on the basis of Amiga Inc/KMOS/Amino admitted insolvency?  Hyperion have done a great job, if they could just get this lawsuit cloud to go away we'd have OS4 for Efika, Pegasus and MacMini by now.

The insolvency issue is part of their arguments, but a case won't be dismissed so easily.
