@ thread/all
I don't know what's going on, no one really does. I think it's the issue.
AMIGA get's mentioned a lot, ok not a lot, but it's there to grab interest (Hey, what's that) even in places like slash dot.
I would say people do know what it is and where even.
The thing is, it's all vapour ware. Nothing really solid. A lot of promises, a lot of take overs a lot of changes but no real product and it's what people have come to expect. If and wehn we fianaly have a product and some develpoment for it, things will again pick up wispers will become noise etc.
We really do need a product, we needed one yesterday but we can't turn back time, so we need that product now. There is still plenty of room for it. The OS market is hardly swamped. There are 3 main varieties only. There is room.
As for the whole CEO thing, who knows.
That's the problem, the company responsible is so dam quiet they may as well not exist. All we can do is speculate and hang off a few words from someones e-mail. We have no difinitve answer as to what's going on. We can accept GH has washed his hands of A Inc, weather he is part of KMOS still, I don't know, no one knows what's round the corner.
M$ are also pretty quiet about new release dates, same with apple. Still at leat they make announcements and possible time frames. Look I don't like the way A Inc have done buisness, but that's my opinion. If we get an actual product soon, we can all do our bit to promote it, weather talking about it to friends, news posts, or contributing programs and source. To be honest, I thnk the latter is the most important thing to start with, if you can code, you should code. coders talk, get help from others, interest builds, etc...... The thing is, we need a product first. It's getting do or die time. Unless we all leave AMIGA OS and plans right now and make a huge effort to go to AROS/Morph or something like Wayne was suggesting towards earlier.
