So I`m a TWAT for trying to understand what Amiga Inc are trying to do?

All I am saying is that at this present time, the amiga market offers VERY little cash A.inc have investors to pay, they NEED to make money to survive therefore they have a very good PDA product which is making money for them, they have to concentrate on this or go bust. Hopefully when they have enough cash they can then put some into the amigaOS development itself.

As I see it, the only "real" friend that Microsoft has in the Amiga World is Wayne and all the rest of his puppets.

Ummm.  When did I take this to the level of personal insult?  I said Amiga Inc is in bed with Microsoft.  They are.  Besides, if you can't see how "friendly" McEwen is being in this situation, you have much bigger problems than can be addressed by this Web site.  

I have no puppets, nor is anyone invited to follow me along my road of babbling.  I have an opinion.  My opinion is that Amiga Inc has failed to do anything they've promised and that now there is no future of the Amiga platform outside of a slow, overpriced dedicated hardware machine.  AmigaDE/AA/Whatever might be a very cool games engine, but it has nothing to do with the Amiga.

RE: hatred of Bill McEwen personally.  

I have zero hatred for Bill McEwen, "Fleecy" or any other staff member of Amiga Inc.  Hatred requires feeling and I feel little but apathy towards the current Amiga situation.  I feel a great deal of angst for what could have been, but it's too late to change it now for them to get back on the right path.

Amazingly, of those Amiga Inc personnel I honestly know, Gary Peake is the ONLY one who has -- over the years -- gained and held my respect.  He is generally the ONLY one there who will plainly speak the truth and not encompass it in 5 tons of marketspeech.  Your mileage may vary.

In my never-so-humble opinion, the only thing they've ever done which is even remotely respectable is to stay afloat.  For the lean days when Amiga Inc personnel were having to file personal bankruptcy and lose their houses/cars and livelyhood, they have my respect for not giving up.

The question then becomes.... "did they ever have a choice but to continue considering their debt"?  They have something they paid 5 million dollars for.  It's now worthless so they can't sell it, so what else could they have done even if they had a choice?

Just tested IB2.2 under UAE and the quote button does not work, it is the IB developers fault not Waynes or mine.

@Mountain_Myst

You hit the nail on the head! :-)

[System]

Told you so about what? And being right about what?
You haven't told *me* anything I didn't know already months ago.

[System]

I said Amiga Inc is in bed with Microsoft. They are

This is number one.
No, they are not in bed with Microsoft.
They are buisness partners.
There is a difference you know.

Amiga Inc has failed to do anything they've promised

This is number two.
To get Microsofts buisness, along with other major companies was one of thier promises Wayne.

there is no future of the Amiga platform outside of a slow, overpriced dedicated hardware machine

This is number three.

Why?  Because you say so?
Of course this is just your opinion, but there are a lot of people out there who believe otherwise.
I think that only time will tell this.

AmigaDE/AA/Whatever might be a very cool games engine, but it has nothing to do with the Amiga.

And this is number four.

What in the world do you mean by this?
AmigaDE/AA/Whatever will become a very important part of the new Amiga OS if they succeed at what they are doing.
All you have to do is read about Amiga Inc's future plans for Amiga DE, and you will see that it is very certainly a part of Amiga.

That's all I'm saying by the way...
Now its time to sit back and watch the story unfold even more.

And which h/w would YOU like the new Amiga to have?

Sorry you do not :-(

Do you think M$ would allow one of it's "partners" to write SW for Symbian ? Or Linux ? Or something like the mystical OS5 ?

Well last I heard was that a "player" for Symbian was in the works.
OS5 is not even in a planning state yet, but I guess a player will come to OS4.x´soon after it's released.

I tend to trust Fleecy and what he has told me untill now have been quite positive (and true).

I don't think M$ will buy Amiga in any near future. They really doesn't have any reason to do so.

I don't think Amiga are more involved with M$ than many other companies are, theres partnerships all over.. Everyone is partnering, not that it means a lot.

I believe Amiga when they say that this is just the first move. They need to get a product out, to create a revenue and when m$ are offering them that chance they couldn't afford to say no.

M$ are also in a situation where they desperately need content for their mobile OS's.  They can't afford to loose another battle in that area. They have had great problems competing with Palm and the Smartphone doesn't look as if it will be a huge succes right away (just like xbollox).....

If you want to quote text do this......

[*quote*] (place your copy & paste text here) [*/quote*]
