Hyperion AmiWest Announcement
« on: October 21, 2007, 02:46:25 AM »
Any guesses what the forthcoming announcement may be? Maybe they expect to lose the court case and are making OS4 a free torrent download.  :-D

Update: OS4 Classic will be released on 30/11/07. Price unknown so far.

Hmmm.... to buy a copy even though I don't have a PPC card....

I'm wondering at this point if this is just to tweek Amiga Inc's nose. We'll see  at the end of November I suppose.

@derringer3

yeah, what i said. fun to reply to the last post, huh? :-P

anyhoo, i speculate wildly that if it's released, then that means there really is hardware coming out or that they realized it would be lame to have the software not ever be used. or, get this, that it would be funky for os5 to come out before os4 did. :-o

@weirdami

The hardware for this OS has already been released; it's about OS4 Classic.

@flashlab

I get lost and confused. :-) So, OS4 non-classic is waiting for new hardware before it can come out, but OS4 classic is coming out because it's not waiting for classic hardware? Does anyone remember what the reason was that classic OS4 wasn't allowed to come out before now? Does this (as of yet unconfirmed) news include, somewhere, what has transpired to make the release possible?

OS4 "Regular" has already been released but it's exclusive to AmigaOne hardware. So that's why you can't buy it; there's no AmigaOne hardware available anymore.

If new hardware comes out OS4 has to be adapted to support it. That's what AInc is blocking.

For the simple reason that new hardware should have been available and more sales would be likely for new hardware vs old.  It would be silly not to focus first on where you think the most sales will come from.
