AmigOS 5 is AmigaAnywhere 2

Well, I guess if they can run Workbench on it - then technically it's a re-targetable AmigaOS. My only question is would there be a way to add custom chip emulation to run old software while the workbench gets a home on new hardware?

I certainly think they could have left the AmigaOS 5 out of it until they actually are ready to give us hardware to run it on. I really don't see me running out to buy a WM6 Treo to run AmigaOS.

Ok, so AmigaAnywhere 2 is NOT AmigaOS 5. AmigaOS 4 is the current AmigaOS and Amiga, inc.'s plans center around it. It sounds like to me that once these legal wranglings are over we'll see some new hardware and AmigaOS 4.01 will be driving it.

I never remember the Amiga community being this negative, I know it's been a long road. I've been discouraged by how long it's taking too but I'm not ready to be negative.

I do agree with the discussions of the fragmenting of development - multiple hardware, multiple os but the one true AmigaOS is the one developed by Hyperion and that's what Amiga, inc. is saying is what they will be supporting with new hardware. I'm willing to give Amiga, inc. a chance. I wish they'd be open to clones but I think they are worried about the size of the market and making sure that they sell their hardware right now. I can understand that.

Anyway - bottom line - contrary to articles and discussion Amiga Anywhere 2 is NOT AmigaOS 5.
