re: AOS w/o AI

[weirdami]

I remember reading in one of those other AI/KMOS threads someone said something (bemoaning?) about how Amiga OS is now not being owned by a company called "Amiga". At first, it seemed weird, that fact, but really, it's not so strange. It started off being owned by Hi-Torro, right? Then that became Amiga something, then Commodore bought it. Then Escom, Gateway, Amino, Itec, KMOS. It's mostly been owned by companies not having "Amiga" in the name. Sure, there was Commodore-Amiga and Amiga Technologies and Amiga, Inc., but those were all owned by non-Amiga-in-the-name companies, or were called something else before becoming Amiga-in-the-name companies. Status quo. :-)

We don't yet know for sure that it is w/o AInc.

I meant that to be without "amiga" in the name. I guess I goofed on the subject line. The whole point of this thread was along the lines of how not being owned by a company called by an "amiga" name doesn't make AOS4+ any less "Amiga". To make it not "Amiga", you'd have to find a company who's making something and just calling it "Amiga". Like Genesi. Sure, they're calling is MorphOS, but everyone knows what they're really trying to do is to pretend to the throne. They tried to get the Amiga name at one point, so one can only assume that they were thinking of announcing that "MorphOS is now going to be called AmigaOS".

Anyhoo.
