Amiga's Grand Plans Revealed

[Argo]

I don't think he felt the need or wanted to repond to the "from the forum" questions. I doubt the interviewer even knew the they were about.

[Warrent]

"The question is will amigans learn from this!"

I think so.  How long have the amigans been going through this? :-)
If you been with an Amiga, since the 80's then you would know to expect the unexpected!

[Opi-Poi]

Ok,the interview wasn't good,but....
quite a few disbelieve his statement that
OS5 would be readly to go in a year.Why?
Perhaps weve been waiting so long something
like this seem imposible.

We assume a lot,but we know nothing.

But a lot has changed since the summer.

AmigaAnywhere deal has brought a lot of money.
Offices have moved to be "closer to the services
and companies we are working with".
They have split their company into Desktop
and Mobile units.

Is this Desktop unit Hyperion or in house?
Can they now afford a large development team
working in conjuction with Hyperion even at a
basic ground work level for OS5?

Amiga (AFAIK) has not,up unto now,"officialy"
claimed it has or hasn't started work on OS5.
And why should they give the game away.

I'm not claiming this is true,I don't know.
Thing is,neither do any of us.
And if you DO you might not be able to say
because of NDA's.

So stop calling them liars on this issue,
as it hasn't happened yet!

So just chill,there's good stuff comming.
I'm concentrating on A1/OS4 for now.:-)

This reminds me of Gershwin, Apple's next gen OS which was being developed as a successor to Copland. However as it later turned out it had not been developed past the dry-marker-on-whiteboard stage.

Wake up

Oh frell!  Now I don't know whether to serve up my plate of crow or shove it back in the fridge!   :-D   On the plus side, this is the first even semi-official statement I've seen from AInc that the dream of having the Amiga OS on my current hardware isn't dead, just awfully delayed.  On the minus side are all of the internal conflicts pointed out above and of course that this is yet another bill of goods and not software on the shelf.  Still, because of this and in association with all the other news coming out since the WOA, I guess I do have to officially retract my previous statements of doom and gloom about AInc going toes up.  I maintain, though, that they were reasonable at the time and within the context of what has happened to in the Amiga world before.  But given this information of the projected future for the Amiga OS, I'm glad that I was wrong!  Here's to it actually coming to pass. :-)
