Amiga Inc answers your questions (updated)

[itix]

I find it interesting that Amiga Inc acknowledges presence of Troika.

[itix]

If you interprete the answer as they have moved from discussions to a final agreement, my bet is that Troika would have told the community a
long time ago, if they had a license.

Now you are saying the obvious. But people were reluctant to think it... Everytime when too much good is coming people get their blinders on.

Could it be that Troika will sell an AmigaOS4.0 capable machine, without license, and that's what's trudging through the courts?

It would make sense that they wouldn't want to show a working MB in public, in that case!

Until "When it's 100% done" with a working MB.

They could always go for, say, AROS. Name it Amigo OS and print slogan "Only Amigo makes it possible".

Now, I am getting really confused. Bill McEwen is telling us, the community, that the Washington company is closed, and that everything is now done via a new Delaware company, which is the only Amiga company.

I got an impression that Delaware Amiga is not connected to Amiga/DE/AA but just some other company.

Obviously they closed their Amiga Inc in Washington and opened new Amiga Inc in Washington :-) It probably isnt illegal in the USA.

Neither are a company that gross over 1/2 million per year, so by Bill's own words he is not interested in dealing with them.

Which on a side note is interesting... Considering probably the last time Amiga Inc themselves grossed 1/2 million per year was 1994, the year Commodore went bankrupt

If I was in position of McEwen, why I should be interested to deal with companies without substantial money/revenue? Amiga Inc is now in position to control OS4 hardware and they can ask what they want. No money, no hardware. I hate to say this but seems McEwen knows what he is doing.

I don't rejoice in the death of OS4, which is what this seems to imply.

I didnt mean to imply it. However, what kind of benefit OS4 brings to Amiga Inc? Requesting money for hardware (even with insane requirements) is certain way to find new revenues. Giving hardware license for free is not good business from Amiga Inc point of view.

There is no market. A new market would have to be created.

Everything has its end. Finally.
