Oh my god! What the hell is this Amiga Inc. trying to do ? They will now loose almost 90% (or more) of their loyal (shrinking) fan base. I think this is the most work Bill and Co. have done in years, only to hurt themselves ..

And who will develop Os4 from now ? Haha, dig your own grave Amiga Inc.

I am thinking the same thing.  How in the world can this last greedy grabfest do anything but kill whatever remains of good-will, enthusiasm and hope among the remaining Amiga user & developer base.  Seems like such destructive behaviour.

I don't give a toss who is right or wrong I just whant a nice new OS4 Amiga.
If AInc. makes it happens and part of that process has to be whipping Hyperion then I guess that's just the way of things.

The fact that work continued and motion to terminate took so long is odd though.

Why is that odd? I don't think Hyperion has been able to distribute OS4 since the buyback, and now Hyperion is gearing up to try to sell OS4 to classic PPC users.

oh boy is this ever pathetic.....Would like to hear Hyperions side of this!  In the end whats point of fighting here?  a $25000 os?  it's a joke...   A-inc should just fold and release this all to open source. just pathetic.... In the end NOBODY will make enough money to speak of.

@Tripitaka

I do agree with you.
I dont know all the facts here, but if Hyperion has broken a legal agreement, and therefor is the reason for me not having a new OS4 Amiga, well then be so.
Just give me my hardware...

At the same time I read about this legal dispute my Amiga died! Isn't that just perfect!

(Well it seems like its just the harddrive, it refuses to spin up, even with another psu, it just gets very warm).

Even if AI folded today, the "owners" and creditors would still have a viable  legal rights to any IP that could generate them cash. In other words, it's never going to be Open Source.

what ever... how much is %10 of nothing?  Ever try to reach in a naked mans pocket?  With all this mucking about I think is important to understand the stakes involved here... we are not talking about any damages as there is very little money to made by anybody...... all amiga inc has to do is relese the thing to open source, then fold like a good boy. That way even hyperion ends up with empty hands.... come on thos guys where just waiting for a-inc to fold so they could steal the amiga......lameness on all ends!

well this is an interesting thing.  I dunno though, this is getting pretty negative.  Wayne, you gonna mod this thread like mine?  I mean, people are bashing Amiga here!!  Have Amiga's lawyers called you yet to inform you of the 'incorrectness' of this news like in my thread which disappeared?

I'm not really bitter about having my thread removed, but now that Amiga somehow found some money they do seem to be throwing their legal weight around with lawyers and such.  Couldn't they be spending this money on, I dunno, actually developing a product? Or maybe *wait for it..* possibly paying their debts?

Just a thought.  I'll take my negativity and STFU now...

 :-(  Good luck fixing it, allways sucks when a good machine dies.

Ravnen: Hey a harddrive is not an Amiga, harddrives dies all the time :/ hehe.

@ravnen

Great, $500 for a computer without HD, RAM, etc., sub-700MHz cpu and PCI graphics?  What is this, a six-year old spec?  This is a joke right?  Who would buy this over a PS3 or XBox360, or even a Wii?  It should be no more than $200.  Amiga, Inc. have signaled their own death...RIP

Sad, sad, sad.
