Regarding the naming of new A-eon systems

[yssing]

Becayse that "A" naming scheme (no matter the number) is de-facto "reserved" for real Amigas/Classics. It's really that simple

No, who told you that?

Perhaps people hate Ben Hermans because he is a cnut.

Seriously?

Frankly I have no idea what you tried to say there, I think you may be confused. If so, sorry about that. Or maybe you just didn't follow the discussion...?

So what is it you want?
OS 1.3?

Who cares about a missing whitespace in the name?
Really if it all boils down to that, then I guess that "haters will be haters" is true in this case.

Yes, its true that one disc did indeed say "Workbench", but then the others said something else "Extras", "Locale" and so on.

I know, I just stated that it might be a reason why people Think it's named Workbench at v3.x because they havent seen/had the box and there is no text on the floppies what so ever that says Amiga OS so quite easy to missunderstand then also if you boot from the Workbench floppy takes you to the OS so as said easy to understand confusion since previous versions of the OS was named Workbench and now as Before there is a floppy named just that and it boots you to OS as before....

I see, I missunderstood your post then.
But you might very well be right.

And BTW, it's not like they were going to make Amiga OS an independent product that could run on other systems, like Schmyperion does.

Not intirely true, since they were moving towards PA-RISC and away from 68k. They also sold licenses to clone manufactures.

So its not unlikely that they would have been, sooner or later, selling Amiga OS as a seperate product. Pure speculation though, we all know the history.
