Quick Gary Hare IRC report, no more 3rd party AmigaOS after OS4.0.

[redrumloa]

One thing that's been made very clear is that all future software development will be brought inhouse. IE Hyperion will NOT be producing OS4.1+.

16:07] what is the future of what we today call the AmigaOS technology? It only has a minor role on the new amiga inc website.  Will there be an OS4.1, 4.2,.. etc?  Will there be an OS5 based on the current amigaOS codebase (and not amigade/amigaanywhere)?

I think I answered this.  We are interested in operating systems.  We moved future product developemnt in-house last August.  We do not publicly speculate on product development

Unless Bill and Fleecy learned to code in the last 12 months, AmigaOS is dead.

Typical, get Hyperion to do the hard work making 4.0, then take it all out of their hands again :-/

Welj, they do say they will honor Hyperions rights. And AFAIK, it always was the intention to buy back the rights of OS4...

If we're lucky they'll buy it back. I read it to mean that OS4.0 will be the absolute end of AmigaOS as we know it. He obviously left it open for interpetation, but it seemed pretty clear to me...

Red,
 That's speculation.

It sure is.

Which would be sort of consistant with what Amiga, Inc.'s previous management laid out.

The old management is the current management.

Though I do thing that what Amiga OS 5 (what AI is working on operating systemwise) will be unlike any AOS we've seen. Which gets me abit concerned.

If anything ever becomes of OS5 before 2010 from the Bill & Fleecy show, track me down wherever I am and I will eat my shoe immediately.

@redrumloa
I've always liked you, and you're one of the best dealers I've ever dealt with -- but what's happened to you? Your posts lately have become so "negative" (both here, and especially at AW) -- I don't know what the problem is, but hopefully they'll get worked out -- I miss the old red.

I'm sorry if I seem so negative. A certain person really got under my skin...

-Edit-
I also am seeing alot of negativity in the market, if you want more specifics email me, I'll happily elaborate. I need to cool my postings for the day though....

I've downloaded that video too, but I can assure you, I will never buy an AmigaONE to run AOS4. Like me, there are so many others...

Same here, I downloaded the video. While OS4 looks impressive, no way at all I would buy an A1 motherboard. I think you will find that with most downloaders. Interest in OS4, but zero interest in A1.

I hope so. Frankly, I don't trust Amiga Inc's ability to pour pee out of a boot with clear instructions on the heel.

@Wayne

I agreed with you 100% up until this point.

Reading the transcript from Garry was worse than trying to figure out how exactly Dubya and his family are profiting from the war in the middle east (and they are).

DOH!  :smack:
