then I wouldnt buy an "amiga" :-D

I want OS4 either its nameless or called HYPEos4

With the amount of details being handled and
layed into OS4, its going to run circles around
every existing os out there :)

And i like the comment by one of the Friedens,
a direct meteor hit is the only thing stopping
it..:-D :-D

>My question to you Hyperion is DO YOU HAVE OS 4 >NOW RUNNING ON CYBERSTORM?

yes, its been mentioned a few times in threads
but no announcement have been made yet..(i think?)

Maybe Hyperion should release a video of it booting, and just give a #### if people think its
fake or not, it shouldnt be that much work,
a video of a few secs should be easy to produce..

>They use us (the community) to pass the word >out, the Amiga shows globaly, the forums, >whatever...

if thats the case, I guess the exposure he gains
is pretty small....i've been watching both here
and amigaworld.net quite frequently, users actually browsing the sites are rarely over 50 users.. Where the hell is the rest of this
community ?

>The "Amiga" brand name is the one in importance >here.

With the latest activity around here, I've figured that out myself too :) Im sure Pegasos sales would have been 3x higher if "The Name" would follow the Pegasos/Morphos package.

We clearly see "The Name" in action with the sucsess the AmigaOne have in Europe at this time,
Eyetech can't ship many enough and fast enough it seems.

Some days ago I've been talked with some developers of a musicprogram(tracker++) for pc and mac,
one of the developers is getting an A1 when OS4 is out :) and a os4 port wasnt a longshot either
all because of "The Name".

so yes, I would say whoever have "The Name" stays in business.

we legally purchased a few hundred copies of OS 3.9 which if we wanted to we could bundle with the Pegasos -- just to put an Amiga label on the package.


Thers a way of buying OS3.9 illegaly ? Anyway, I dont understand how bundling OS3.9 with your package makes
it an "amiga" ?

They will need an installed base of users to sell their product. The Pegasos "Community" could be a potential market for them.


I thought the owners of AmigaOne _is_ their target for OS4, together with all the CSPPC and BPPC users.
Rumours around is that A1 at this point outsells pegasos
3x, i think that the Pegasos "Community" is a minority
compared to that.

The people that made what they are using now are part of Genesi


The people making OS3.x and some of the enhancements
of OS3.5 and 3.9 are part of Genesi ? I thought they are
working on OS4 ? (mostly thinking of Amidock, FFS2, roadshow, deficons,++)
