This is really unbelievable. Why can't those *gentlemen* at Amiga, who obviously couldn't competently code a "hello world" demo, just go away and leave the OS development and by rights, this platform's future to competent people?

It was Hyperion who came begging to use the Amiga name. I've never been able to understand why they wanted to call OS4 "Amiga" in the first place - I guess the name has a certain appeal to rabid BAFs.

The honorable thing for Hyperion to have done would have been to go off and write the OS on their own, call it HypeOS, and bill it as Amiga-like. But no, they had to be Teh TRu3 AmiGa!!!11 Which is even funnier when you consider they had to write all the code from scratch anyway.

Don't take me wrong, I'm no AInc. booster. I just happen to think that both companies involved in the suit are scummy.

I'll take that popcorn now....

The fact that work continued and motion to terminate took so long is odd though.

Why is that odd? I don't think Hyperion has been able to distribute OS4 since the buyback, and now Hyperion is gearing up to try to sell OS4 to classic PPC users.
