For those of us that have been out of loop does anyone have a quick reality check on where things stand?
It sounds from reading the responses that Amiga exercised a buy back from Hyperion but there are legal issues concerning outstanding payments for that IP.
A few years ago the Friedens indicated that they had no interest in migrating OS4 to an Intel architecture. Did the tune ever change and see a HAL introduced to make this practical?
I just can't imagine OS4 and OS5 being developed independently unless OS5 was mainly a set of extensions that were to be added to the foundation of OS4.
In the end, it's far too easy to be a naysayer when there is nothing tangible to bank on. The legal and technical hurdles look like a nightmare.
