SciTech and Hyperion enter strategic partnership

[ACE]

Did everyone notice the mobile GFX chipsets supported in there.  One step closer to my dream, a laptop Amiga, efficent operating system, PPC chips with low power requirements.  Come on you hardware people give me, no give the world what they've been waiting for...

...er sorry!  :-D

[MrZammler]

All your GFX cards, are belong to us.

[Elektro]

Hehehehe  ;-)

@ Rouge:

I was actually pleased to see Joanna’s comments so early in this tread. I can always count on a negative remark from her and this one coming so soon in the thread without any real point gave me a hint this was really good news for the Amiga effort.... as I read on, it certainly is.  

Good work Hyperion- keep on keepin’ on!

*applaudes (on partnership)*

...and the OS release date is? (I really hate to be pushy, but I'm still patiently waiting.  :-) )

[Bobsonsirjonny]

I have bits left over - as OS 4 gets more compatability I'm gonna save loads of money!!! I may just be abe to afford one now!

Thanks!!! :-D :pint:

Here, I applaud Hyperion.

Hyperion Entertainment, or how forget the delays & doubts about AmigaOS4, by only a spectacular announce.

Day + 50 to see AmigaOS4 on classic AmigaPPC announced for the end of year 2002,
Day - 20 to see AmigaOS4 on AmigaOne at CeBIT 2003 as officially announced on www.amiga.com.

We usually say "wait and see", but with Hyperion (and Amiga Inc) is more "wait" than "see".

Now, I wish you a good dream...
Personnally, I stay in the reality with my concrete Pegasos/MorphOS ;-)

[Crumb]

Well done Hyperion!

It's funny to see the reactions of some MorphOS zealots.

Good for you. Have fun with your Pegasos/MOS combo and
let the rest of us dwell in peace down here at the foot of your
shiny pedestal.

Sounds good. This partnership may come handy.

You are free to do so, but as you said, this is "personally". I wonder, though, why you need to post this here. The only reason I can think of is that you are trolling.

Get this into your head: This doesn't concern you. You are a MOS/Pegasos user, so why do you feel the urge to comment..?

Oh yes, slandering. That's what folks like you do best.

For you Pegasos might be real. So is AmigaOS for the beta testers. For the general public, both are invisible.

[Rogue]

It's funny to see the reactions of some MorphOS zealots.

You see, we speculated on the comments we'd get. I was pretty sure that some folks would be downright "normal" again (if you know what I mean), but then, I thought that in general this is good news.

Of course, something is always wrong. I expected to hear "but I only need one graphics card in my Amiga, not 180", and "My xxx is doing fine here", and got them both in the first twenty or so comments on Amiga-news.de.

I was completely taken by surprise that someone (on amiga-news.de too) claimed that "amigaos would become more like Linux now" and that suddenly "a Linux-Virus would run on AmigaOS too".  Just goes to show that human imagination knows no frontiers  :-D

[FuZion]

Damn good news I reckon!

Just the beginning maybe?

Keep it up Hyperion!!!

[JoannaK]

@rogue

No, it doesn't slow things down. Stop making these things up

Ok.. How about some simple math.. You do the division for us:

Hyperion is extremely small company. It's no secret. With limited manpower and resources.  How many of you keep on making OS4 and how many start working on these new and exiting extra drivers (including 3D extensions)?

In my books this situation is quite obvious. And I do respect your right doing paid-up contract works for funding further OS4 development.  And I think Hermans have made smart move targetting to Embeded/STB markets. But I still would like you being more honest about these delays and schedules. Keeping people waiting forever ain't polite, especially when it's done couple months at a time.

@Rogue
 
Well, at least the majority reacted positively to this
announcment (I for one can use my ATI Rage Pro I got lying
around). I think what darkens the waters for us is the lack
of news on progress of the OS itself (especially the
Cebit-be-or-not-to-be and the Alt-WOA comments are rather
unnerving).
 It reminds us (or me at least) far too much of
the silence at the end of the Collas' reign when the MCC
was to be released "very soon". I'm not saying it's the
same as then (it's not), but the silence itself leaves a
familiar metallic taste of uncertainty in the back of my
mouth.
 The announced launch is creeping up on you, guys.
Soon it's time to start presenting stuff. We are standing
here with our wallets raised. We are only waiting for you
to start selling it to us...!

Well, if you'll notice, someone else is being very quiet too.

That would be bbrv and the rest of his hirelings.

Has nothing to do with product.
It has to do with lawyers saying, "keep your mouth quiet".

As far as Ceebit.
It really doesn't matter .

What does matter is to know that OS4 is still being worked on, and will be brought out when it's ready.

I, for one, will be waiting for it.   ;-)
