Uhm, how to put this nicely: You're perhaps reading a bit too much to standard corporate reply? Or perhaps: Not in a million years.

Such things as "If Commodore wants to get into the PC business then, it would certainly be cheaper to liscense an OS like OS4 for their product than it would be to try and develop it on their own." (eh, why would anyone develop their own OS!?), "The Amiga has many good things going for it right now." and "I received a similar e-mail 4 months ago. I think that they are interested." ...makes you really wonder if the posters really are serious about this.

Oh I forgot, that's aw.net.

I think this is not a standard reply, don't you think?

No it isn't, but it isn't confirming OS4 hardware either.

Just talking to someone doesn't mean anything, nor does it automagically mean that some kind of agreement would be made.

Then again, it leaves you the impression that something might happen there. It tells you to follow their steps. It might generate tons of speculation and buzz.

That isn't standard reply, it's good PR. It's just that no amiga related company knows how to make that anymore... ;-)

Sorry, NDA.

Oh, this makes me feel so much more confident there will be new OS4 hardware! I can't contain myself!11
