Is anybody happy about the lawsuit?

[koaftder]

I sure am. An I'm not picking sides either. I hope Hyperion and Amiga Inc both loose their shirts. The judge will probably be an Atari hold out.

Lets face it, there hasn't been any thing all that interesting in the Amiga community in the past year and all of a sudden Amiga Inc releases specs for some god awful slow as dirt under spec system and launches a lawsuit. I've completely drained my reserve LOLs today. I'll have to goto bed early tonight so I can go back and hit the forums tomorrow for another round chest hurting laughter.

I hope they both go out of business in a giant red and white checker ball of fiery death. AmiDrama at it's best.

In time, the empty offices of Amiga Inc and Hyperion will be used exclusively by the Aros kitty as her personal catbox.

[Glittering]

Yes, Hyperion deserve every single thing what comes to them and i personally thank Bill for pulling the rug from under them.

[jj]

the most important question is who kin cares anymore

[guru-666]

LOL,
@glitterbug
so it's that easy... and you know all the facts.... right!

I think Bill is going to save the amiga, this guy an AMAZING businesman and knows computers.  This is going to be FANTASIC. Willout Bill the amiga would NEVER have been as pupolar as it is now.



you realize that without hyperion there would have been no amiga OS4, 3.5 or 3.9? And amiga-inc had ZERO to do with OS3.1.  So I personly wish amiga-inc would jsut go get lost as they have done nothing for anybody.
You realize that $25000 is chump change when it comes to writing an OS.


I'm a glad there is a law suite, not realy but its got a lot of entertainment value.. in the end no of this matter, the amiga irrelent anyway you slice it.

[jorkany]

Regarding the thread subject, hell yes! For the discovery phase of the court proceedings, if nothing else.

[uncharted]

I'm not.  I stopped caring about OS4 long time ago, but I think it's a shame that this happened.  

You may not like Amiga Inc. or Hyperion, but what about the poor developers who have put in time and effort to work on the OS they love, just to have it yanked away from them by this dispute?  There are a number of good people who put in a lot of work that are totally outside the politics of this.

None of the teams AmigaOS, MorphOS or AROS deserve to be dicked about like this.

It's sad that some people are jumping on this to rekindle the old blue vs. red thing and generally behaving like children.  Shows that even after having 4 years to grow up, there are those who are unable to act their age.

I'm sorry for the AmigaOS4 users, shame things had to go this way.  I hope something comes up for you guys in the future.

Hyperion agreed to Amiga Incs terms then went back on them (according to the court doc), no Hyperion fan can turn a blind eye and blindly praise them anymore, they have been exposed and now we will see them (hopefully) crash and burn.

If Amiga Inc wins, we might actually see OS4 released instead of still being held hostage by Hyperion.

[guru-666]

@glittering

You don't know that, if it where that simple they would not be in court. So far you have only heard form amiga inc, that is there case.... that does not make it so.... If there case did not sound *resonable* they would be tossed out of court.  
Now lets wait and see what ACTAULY happend.  

No matter who is right, I would perfer hyperion to win as they have produced products that I use.  

if a-inc wins will only see very $$$ OS4 with sub par hardware bundels that I would NOT EVER buy
(now that it's clear that amigaanywhere won't produce cash (hint fire Mr. Moss!)...they want to extract money from the remains of the amiga community, which they where NEVER part of anyway... scammers!)

if hyperon wins then we will get OS4 for any ppc hardware....

don't jsut jump to concusions, hyperion is the company that is not only making OS4 but also selling it for differnt boears, cool in my book!  A0inc jsut want a cut and to mess things up with sub par hardware.

Right now amiga inc does not even have the source code for OS4, as the agreement between a-inc and hyperon has expired before os4 was released....if they do have it, they stole it via some developer.  

[GGS]

Glittering,

Maybe the source was stolen or sold to a company in India.

[AJCopland]

No, as usual potentially good news immediately becomes astonishingly bad.

Now if only Dennis would reply with stuff about the MiniMig I could be all happy again.

Did Hyperion make 3.5 and 3.9? I have always thought it was Hage and Partners who made them.

As far as I can remember Hyerion made a port of Descent when those OS'es where released.

[guru-666]

good point, I'm not sure!
Eitherway sounds like we can get OS4 form hyperon, it also sounds like they would be willing to jsut sell the OS without the sub par hardware so we can run it on what ever ppc platfor we choose... now that sounds decent..compared to tha amiga-inc plan

I smell troll.

I'll drink to that!  :pint:  :pint:  :pint:  :pint:

[Fester]

hmmm...no.

Last week I was hopeful for some kind of opportunity to try OS4.

I should find a different hobby.
