I'm sure Amiga Inc. is very much aware of what people are saying on forums, but OS4 is pretty much out of their hands. Hyperion has their own agenda.
From what I've been reading, it's far worse then that. It appears that AI opted their $25K buyback option in their contract with Hyperion. Little did they know, OS4 isn't using Hyperion's kernel but the Twin's kernel. I'm not sure what the vast majority of IT folks would call an OS, but I'd say the kernel is the OS (ie Linux has a Linux kernel with other code to flesh it out for end users). Apparently the Twins have passed on making a kernel for OS5 for AI. So we can safely say OS4 isn't make or break for anything and will, if AI can survive that long, be headed for the dust bin of history.
So what is being paraded about as Amiga OS4, isn't owned at all by Amiga. So I'll sit in the cheap seats while I'm waiting to hear that AI has had enough and started to issue C&Ds on OS4 sales (yeah right), and transfers. :popcorn:
