Amiga now charter partner of Microsoft's Mobility Partner Advisory Council

[System]

We missed this earlier on the 18th, but here's an "interesting" article about the new partnerships that Microsoft has been making.  Apparently Amiga Inc is now a charter partner of Microsoft's Mobility Partner Advisory Council (MPAC).

"Another step closer to the danger zone".

Damn, I hate it when I'm right.

"Another step closer to the danger zone".

Damn, I hate it when I'm right. To all the cheerleaders.... Told ya so."
 

Well if you make enough predictions your bound to be right a few of the times.
 
That like me saying every year that there is going to be a plane crash today. Sooner or later i will be right.
 

I just hope your willing to stand up & be counted when you get your predictions wrong.

[Paul_Gadd]

Why the hell would Microsoft touch a pathetic amateurish company like Amiga inc?

I hope M$ totally screws you.

[System]

I've only made a few predictions recently.  One of them is that Amiga is a LOT closer to Microsoft than Bill McEwen wants to admit and that they have either already been bought out by Microsoft, or will within a year.  So far, looks like I'm right on schedule.

If I'm wrong at the end of a year (November 2003), I'll gladly stand up and admit it.  

Here's the thing though, and there's just no way of getting around it.  Whether I am right or wrong is irrelevant.  Amiga Inc no longer has ANYTHING to do with what anyone thinks of as THE AMIGA.  They (as well as Hyperion and Eyetech -- and bplan/others) are simply using us to cash in on "the name".  There will be no resurrection, let alone a revolution.

Before the cynics amongst you start crying foul, yes indeed, I take donations to this Web site based on "the name".  I even ask for them (You would too) staying on top of things with this site takes a great deal of time and effort.  The difference is, Amiga.org actually provides something.

The great "Swindle"

That happened to this "Sucker" in 78 !!  With punk rock & the Pistols.

I really would be pissed off if it turns out M$ ARE at the helm of "Our Ship".

Methinks I would force myself to learn Linux.

Spot on, nice to see someone be honest instead of all this Amiga inc hero worshiping on here,

All Amiga companies are using the name to screw people out of money, just do a price comparison on Amiga shops and normal shops, the results are shocking,

As for the LinuxONE board that has got to be the most laughable restricted piece of crap ever in Amigas history.

I have alot of respect for ppl who admit when they are wrong.
But every few ppl do that.
They just hide & wait for ppl to forget the comment of the past.
 
 
I think you asume just because alot of ppl defend Amiga.inc that they also credit then with Aone & Aos4.
they know its all down  to Eyetech & Hyperion already.


And seeing as you think its all a no hoper then there is no point in any off us holding out hope so if we all move on right now
then there is no need for Amiga.Org thus no need for a Donation.

As usual its not the end of the world if Amiga inc goes down there is (sigh again) always AROS ;-).

It seems to me that the only intrest you have on amiga.org is to slag Amiga.inc,Hyperion,Eyetech & Anyone intrested in Aone or Aos4.

Please learn how to use the site so we can differentiate your comments from those you are replying to.

then there is no need for Amiga.Org thus no need for a Donation.

As long as there is an "Amiga", there will be an Amiga.org.  I just personally have zero (actually negative) use for an EyetechOne, but that doesn't mean that others here feel the same.  

Whether or not you feel our presence and at least attempts to provide the community with a central Web point deserves a donation is entirely up to you.  Keep in mind the definition of donation as a voluntary contribution.

Has anybody else mentioned this:
"The color is amazing."
... why not exciting?

Maybe some kind of Microsoft censorship?

Why not slag of cowboy firms which are doing piss all for Amigas future unless you call that piece of garbage restricted Teron board a serious board,
The LinuxONE reject is a restricted piece of S H I T,

Get with the program ALL Amiga companies are doing more harm to the future of the machine than good,

As a very long time amiga user it is very sad to read comments by brain washed idiots what think Amiga is going to be as good as it was in 1992,

The only good product for the Amiga was Amithlon and you die hards totally ####ed it up good and proper.

[NihilVor]

Actually, the Amiga One is an impressive piece of hardware, and is being sold at a fairly resonable (contrary to the endemic complaints of jaded Amiga users).  Of course without knowing how 4.0 will turn out, there is no reason to buy one at this time.  However, Amiga One is far from a piece of ####.  It is a relatively promising board that, if Hyperium makes the drivers they promise, will be able to take advantage of some impressive technology.
