I've the feeling we're "mislead" for quite a few months now!
Notice the " around mislead!

Is this a bad time to ask where my 50 Euros are?
And this is no joke from my side.
Does KMOS takeover this deal ones made by Amiga Inc.?

As always, no trolling from my side, just my feelings.

It's certainly interesting to read what Bill McEwen filed at the court, about saying he couldn“t contact Bill Buck, while Bill Buck said the same thing about Bill McEwen!
I find this very amusing indeed :-D

Somebody in this thread mentioned something about making a movie of this:

I clearly see it happening like BB's carrying a Pegasos to BM and at the same time BM's carrying a letter to BB. Both passing by eachother without stopping! :-)

I've got to stop now :-)

Bye,

Spidey

It's reversible. Why do you think there exist appeals in any western legal system?  :-)

All I can say is that for me AROS is looking better and better.  It isn't done but it isn't going anywhere and can't be sold.  Although I do think that this might be good for AOS, if the company that bought it LAST YEAR, didn't want to finish it we probably would not have been seeing it being demoed.  I love AOS but I am ver leary of a Coperate contolled version, even more so now.
Sir, I believe that we have a problem with your brain being missing.  -Firefly-

Wholly cow!

I just remembered something that might be pertenant to this story.  I just remembered I purchased AmigaOS back in 2001!

No wonder I haven't been able to balance my checkbook.  Well, mystery solved.

I cannot wait to learn more about KMOS, assuming they hold up to be relevant for a little while.  I don't know why people start going to make assumptions like they have money.   We don't know anything yet.

Because they bought another company (IIRC) before buying AmigaOS and it looks like they are helping Amiga Inc in court now.. That either means they have a lot of money or had a lot of money :-)  ;-)

Another day, another chapter in the amiga soap we know and love so much.

as soon as i saw this my brain automatically changed this:

Quote

Amiga, Inc. Sells the Amiga Operating System to KMOS inc, to focus on AmigaDE and the Mobile Market.

into this:

Quote

Amiga, Inc. sells any chance of making money off long waiting amiga users to a random company, to focus on a lost cause...

? So ? AmigaOS isn't owned by Amiga Inc anymore.. In a worse case scenario Amiga Inc goes bey bey and Amiga OS 4 is renamed to KMOS-OS 1...

Hmmm... K-OS vs M-OS anyone  :-D

Well I can't tell if selling the rights for AmigaOS to another company was good or not. Although it doesn't look that good to me at the moment, I can only wait and see.

They say that there won't be any problems with the release of OS4, but what about OS4.1 and so on? Are they commited to continuing the developement of the OS4.x line as initially planned? Or what plans have they got anyway?

Would this by any chance be an attempt to show that AmigaOS and DE are not connected? I've been away for a while, and haven't quite understood what's going on but it's good to see the soap opera is still "on schedule and rocking"...
