An OS unburdened with a choice of apps, memory protection or drivers...

Quote from: Crom00;526393
Amiga OS 4.0 Powered Netbook anyone?

We all know with modern browswer support this would be the perfect little os running on SSD. It's pretty funny both Apple and Microsoft have actuvley worked to reduce the size and overhead for their OS's due to customer grievances. Here is this little OS lying dormant that can be positione to capatilize on this.

Maybe thay will now join forces with AROS and Team MorphOS ;) To unite the community once again under the name of Amiga :D
It doesn't work that way in the Amiga world, this is a novel society and when I think novel I mean William Golding and his charming novel about life on a small island.  The Amiga community is a lot like that....

It means that Moana is legal should they decide to continue with it.

Ah, what could have been with Dave Haney at the helm, he had a vision and an understanding of what must be done to succeed.  Yep, what we have here is not so much a battle for the ship but a battle for the life boat, and they agreed that one part gets the boat and the other one the oars.

They did not win, they settled with Amiga Inc with a new agreement.  Thanks to a Moo linking to a  /. article about the settlement, I see that Haynie posted his thoughts: http://news.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1409045&cid=29796239

Basically you have a somewhat modernised closed source OS with little or software to run.  It's basically a hobby OS for people who like retro with a few modern conveniences tacked on. Your target audience is known, they basically all read Amiga.org and/or Amigaword.net.  Now considering that why bother with porting to x86?  Is anyone seriously going switch from a modern OS to this?  The market is collectors, the market has money and the relative expense only makes it more attractive.
