What is AmigaAnywhere?
« on: January 23, 2008, 04:55:28 PM »
I look at the KMOS (Amiga.com) site and there is only a brief mention of AA and a few PC games for sale.  What exactly is AmigaAnywhere?  Does anyone have a copy of it?  The description sounds like it's a UAE clone, is that correct?

I don't get it, if it's Tao Group's Intent then why is it called AmigaAnywhere?  Other than Tao Group being headquartered in England and Tripos being created in England they have nothing to do with each other.  And who owns the IP of Tao Group now?

Ok it was a neat idea in 1994, but I really don't see amy use for it today, I listen to music and watch videos on m phone now why would I want a virtual processor slowing everything down?

So what is AmigaDE in the screenshoss?  Did intent run Amiga executables?

So what does this mean?  A distributed virtualised OS?  Distributed I understand, it's about three clicks to set up  in OS X, but virtualised?  Do they mean like Fusion or Parallels?  How can a company that has to outsource an OS upgrade like AmigaOS 4 possibly deliver virtualisation?  What the hell are they talking about?

Is Bill just virtualising the English language?

Q: So what is OS5 then?
A: OS5 is an ongoing project to build a new distributed virtualized operating system (in the true sense of the term operating system) that is also capable of running in a hosted form. OS5 is a long-term project that incorporates many of the next generation operating system concepts Amiga has extolled in the past.

Abolutely it should be "Amiga Classic," the other way around is just silly.

AmigaAnywhere is bad marketing and the wrong name for this product............

1) it gives people the impression it runs Classic Amiga stuff
2) If it did run Amiga stuff, 99% of the world doesnt care
3) No one knows what the heck it is
4) The name needs to be changed, without theWord Amiga in it...it confuses people
5) it will fail if it is not changed



AAAAAAARGH!!!  I hate that phrase `Classic Amiga`.
