Are you kidding? A SAM and OS4 has nothing to do with an Amiga except the OS trademark name, but only that. OS4 is like a bad song remake, it may sound similar, but it is not the original.
The Amiga has long been dead since 1994, get over it!
If you have been brainwashed by some marketing gimmick about the SAM and OS4 being an Amiga dont blame others. At least MorphOS people have the decency not to pretend being something they are not, and they moved forward by providing a better OS in many aspects than the Amiga had ever had. I respect them for that.
And speaking about dead shells, let me quote this from Scala's CEO who was once the V.P. of Engineering at Commodore.
..."I was a manufacturing engineer at Commodore--I have personally had
phyical contact with every single A4000T Commodore ever built! [and worked
as a Consultant to Escom for their A1200/A4000T production run...]
[]
The Amiga is over. What is currently calling it self and Amiga is
nothing but a releatively standard PowerPC Reference Platform and some
software written by some old fans of the Amiga and being marketed by five
former Amiga Dealers/Commodore Sales-Marketing guys. There is nothing
there that would justify the name--excepting that they are the holders of
the trademarks."...
And then lets also quote Dave Haynie himself:
..."Certainly, Amiga, Inc. can release any AmigaOS they like and call it 4.0 or 15.7690 or "Theodore" if they want to. But there was nothing approaching what a real 4.0 would have been; no work even started on it (it would have been the OS released for AAA support, but AAA was cancelled before this started, and most of the critical people left within six months of that as well)."...
So please get real:
OS4+SAM is as Amiga as MorphOS+Pegasos or AROS+x86 or Amithlon+x86 or UAE+whatever_platform_that_supports_it is.
