Re: OS4, When ?

>>Correct me if I am wrong but I am sure that it was stated on a show last your that OS4 would be out before x-mas 2002. Could have been the Cyberstorm version. But something like that was said. <<

Yes thats true, but they also said that they'll release OS4 just 3 month after starting development on it (November 2001).

However, it seems that OS4 is actually on hold due to non-payment by Amiga Inc. Refer to the link zacman provided..

(before anyone asks: Yes it was announced that Hyperion will release it by themself while Amiga Inc. only has an option to buy it back after)

Maybe you should read the links i refer to..
( http://groups.yahoo.com/group/amiga_sa/message/13754 )
please also keep in mind that i directly said, that following previous announcements Hyperion would work independantly from Amiga Inc. Which they do not.

The Fact:

"However, last week Amiga made it clear that OS4 may well not be ready by April 26th [...]. They are still waiting for money from their Microsoft deal, with which to pay Hyperion to work on OS4. In the mean time, Hyperion must concentrate on other projects to bring money in."

and finally the excuse:

"They delay, in case you are interested, is supposedly because the manufacturers of the cartridges that the Amiga Anywhere games are to ship on has not actually manufactured any yet."
