AmigaOne boards - I hear rumblings, can anyone confirm

[pierre]

don't be silly, there is no OS4.0, I don't think there will ever be such a thing.  Authentic?  why becasue it has Amiga in is name?  It a joke dude, it does not exist!  MorphOS is cool the next logical step for the amiga...VERY amiga authentic.  I actualy like Amithlon becaus it runs in intel/AMD rather than PPC.  Anything PPC has no future, not even in a mac.  There are lot of REAL amiga ppl involved in the morphOS project it plenty authentic,( at actualy exists NOT VAPORWARE!) maybe hyperion is even more authentic bacause they have NO idea how to run a bussines and generaly are unimpressive.  Nobody is as authentic as amiga.org.... and nobody sucks harder.   Rembember the amiga was cool inspit of commodore NOT bcasue of commodore.....
OS 4.0 hahaha right, BTW I have a bride in brooklin that you maybe interested in... real cheep...

sure they are both cool.  I have never seen os4.0 and to me morphOS looks cooler.   There is no successor the amiga line, the amiga line is DEAD. Linux/BDS (osx is BSD) was the only place for serious users to go if you don;t want to use microsoft crap.  Seriously if hyperion was going to release os 4.0 97/98 would have been the time! I don't understand how you can still be waiting for something that will not happen.  When and if hyperion show me that they are serious I will consider this os4.0 you are speaking of...    UNTIL THEN OS 3.1!

sure ben... hyperion has run a fantastic business... they are why we are here.(not!)  You have not seen morph OS, you sould check it out....ITS NOT AN AMIGA and neither is that amigaONE/WB4.0...thing, which I WOULD like to see in action.   I don't recall anybody that worked for hyperion having much good to say about them? And boy we have come such a far way in the last 15 years, wow impressive....

I have not see an amigaOne in person.  Over the last 6 years I have looked at a pictures and done reseach.... At this point in history I'm not NAIVE enough to think this well actualy happen. Every thing I hear points to the fact that this effort is failing. ( another sad chapter in amiga history... )
The other day I had a chance to see morphOS in action.  It was very nice and at seems that you can actualy buy one if you like. (unlike the amigaONE!) MorphOS is done and has been done for a LONG time. (unlike amigaONE/OS4) I'm not ruling it out but I don't think I'm going to get it either... I don't want to be on PPC... (beside it did not exactly work out for morphOS either...sadly)
If I get any PPC I hope to put it into one of my Classic Amiga boxes, just to trick it all the way out! Because I love my amigas, thats why I'm here in the first place...

@ben
cool I use my classic amigas still also, they are soo cool!  
The platform is however generaly DEAD, they won't make any new ones.  Aside form a small group of developers not much new development is happening, that the definition of a dead hardware platform.  Another example: dreamcast is dead.  I still play mine but sega killed it.  Thats just the way it goes. Sorry.  

It's true I don't realy consider these new(isch) machines to be Amiga, they are hibirds.. something new alltogether, that's why this whole classic thing started!  I feel like the classic machines are more "authentic".  It's O.k. I realy like linux and am knee deep in that now..it will be a long while befor os4 OR morphOS (closed source!a fe developers) will catch up to where linux is today with this very cool "open source" culture, there are 1000 (or more)  developers ACTIVLY making the product better, honestly the open source movement feel more like an extension of the amiga spirt TO ME.  I picked up linux just as amiga was winding down and it was an easy transition.  I can say enough good things about linux.  I think UAE even stated on linux or maybe some old UNIX box.. whats the differnece
sorry long answer I just hink I am being misunderstood here.

cheers,
Pierre

@dan06
read my posts again your not understanding.  Ifcourse I have seen and read about this OS4, just never seen it in PERSON, have you?  
They COULD both be cool... (if os4 releases!)  morphOS is already done and for sale, os04 as been anounced for 5 years and is not available, sorry that I lost faith! Its just that I doubt it will see the light of day...and given that morphOS is already done I realy don't understand why we developing another OS of the ppc rather than movign forward from morphOS at this point!(there is sarcasem mixed in there also).  There are other reasons that make my like morphOS better...but I won't waist my time attempting to explain that to you at this point.
Yep I the "classic" amiga line is dead, just like the deamcast is dead, if we are lucky we will see some more hobbiest amiga(ish) system released in very small numbers, life support? maybe....:horse:  Don't be mad at me be mad at commodore!
@bOOtdisk
yes I am retarded... thanks for bringing that up!  :lol:
Don't be mean.. sorry you don't get my point.  
@AmigaSoft
Welcome to amiga.org, this place is great!  You may want to take a sceond and introduce your self to us in the welcome section.  It would be nice to know a bit about you.  
I can't wait for you to prove me wrong, that would actualy make me happy.  Until then what are you going to do? Maybe give us some actual information about OS4 and when it will be realeased? (why is better than morpgOS...anything!) I hope it(os4) won't censore me are you attempting to do! :-D   It's not your fault Hyperion has made false staments and discredited itself.... I understand that.

@sdyates
how could I give you benchmarkes I don't have an amigaONE or a morphOS box? I have made that clear I thought.
On a constructive note, I don't think amiga is the next logical step, I think Linux is.  It runs on intel/ppc/arm etc..
If you insist on amiga(ish) platform, morphOS does what you want, it's the ONLY option as os4/amigaONE is not available.  Why would you have faith in something that is 5-6 year LATE!  os4 will be running on out of date hardware if it ever released! What kind of bench mark where you expecting? Anybody who does not want to use microsoft should be considering linux, like I said before it not realy posible for these small closed source developer teams to compete with linux.  I guess my question would be, what's worng with linux?  It's a viable OS?  BTW you can make you linux feel much like an amiga... I think amigaOS was actualy styled off UNIX when it was origionaly designed.  IMO linux is way better than morphOS or os4.
