Alan Redhouse revealed the impressive future of AmigaOne!!!!! (from AmiGBG 2003)

[Dan]

Delfina Flipper: Yes new amigahardware:-D
Morphos: Well it´s not really AmigaOS just emulation around a microkernel just as Amithlon/Umilator
AROS demo: very intresting cat shaped windows  :-D

Eyetech: "It´s gonna be good  but you can´t run amigaprograms on it yet"  
ZZZZZZZZZZ.....

Heard it before a hundred times

And just as AmigaOS4. As for PPC-native software, it'll be up to developers if they want to make versions for both MorphOS and AmigaOS4. Quite a few seem to be interested in both.

No, AmigaOS4 is built from the original source code but cleaned up and improved beyond recognition!  :-D

The DONGLE as you like to call it:
The bad thing is that this only benefits Eyetech not the users or Hyperion.
It´s not a dongle it´s firmware (BIOS/kickstart whatever).
Imagine an A500 without ROM,wouldn´t be  very useful.  :-)
That said other motherboard manufacturers should have a way of including the dongle thing( i´m thinking elbox shark), competiton is good. I don´t want eyetech to become the next Micro$oft.
I don´t want AmigaOS locked in with Eyetech/Teron, i want to be able to run it on anything thats possible PPC, x86,  StrongArm, anything.
But i understand that Hyperion need copyprotection so that they can atleast cover the development cost, look what happened the last time amiga had a big market.
Sadly I still belive more in AROS than in AmigaOS, and don´t get me started about AmigaOS 5.0 DE .....

Did Hyperion said anything negative regarding the use of 'dongle'?

No, but at the moment it limits the number of users/OSlicenses

Eyetech is hardly Microsoft i.e. I recall Eyetech doesn't create the OS.

More like Apple and the evil Steve Jobs then, killing the clones ( MacOS licensing companys like Daystar, Motorola, Power Computing) and pushing all innovative ideas into the ground.
And he launched the Cubes, i tell you he is an evil borg leader

AROS is nice, but it doesn't run any legacy AmigaOS applications (without the use of UAE).

??!!!!  :-?
Oh yes it does, on 68k machines.
AmigaOS 4.0 don´t run 68k code on a PPC without the 68k JIT that is technical impossible.

[speculation]
It maybe sooner, at least internally anyway.

Yes a demobetaversions was meant to be on AmiGBG
In a couple of days they will actually have something to show off.
 :-D

BUT, they purchased Amiga IP rights from Gateway 2000, in Dec. 1999 for at LEAST $5,000,000.

Eyetech didn´t, Amiga DE Inc did and they can go play with their DE on Win CE and make the money off the CEgeeks.
I don´t want to give them any money for making DE crap  and making the Amiga name look bad.
How is the Amiganame license written does DE inc get a precentage of the price of every sold machine or was it a onetime payment?
Hyperion making profit of me is cool with me, Eyetech doing the same is not a bad thing but DE Inc i hate!
