Fleecy writes: AmigaOS4.0 will be launched in the summer, with 4.2 and 4.5 coming out at six month intervals. OS5 will be late next year.
He adds:
People have buried the Amiga more times than squirrels bury acorns, and you know what, it keeps on growing back. Beware the naysayers, for they have their own agendas.
In reply to a quote which says Ralph Schimdt (MorphOS) says there Amiga Inc has a lot of illusions...BPlan won`t run AmigaOS4...it will run MorphOS, he answers:
Amiga Inc has an agreement with bPlan to build an AmigaOne. AmigaOne computers run Amiga Inc software. Whatever else is run on it is nothing to do with us, unless it infringes our copyrights or
IP.
Finally, he says:
I have spent hours a day trying to bring all the Amiga developers together but it seems there is just too much hatred. In the end there can only be one AmigaOS, and one Amiga Inc company moving it forwards. Amiga has retaken control, is working directly with many contractors and looks forwards to all working with us to make a better Amiga in the future..

Explanations from Fleecy, part 3 : Comment 31 of 63 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Bertrand PRESLES on 01-Apr-2001 22:00 GMT | Hello,
Ralph, i just want to commment a thing that you said:
"What "plan" Mr. Moss presented us end februar to get us "involved"
was a technical joke. It would have resulted into abandoning our
working framework for "their" project.
Port AmigaOS(TM)/MorphOS OS modules to their chosen WarpOS base
which wouldn't have been suited at all for this design. Then we
should help them writing drivers and all that on somebody else
financing but not them.
And the final issue was that they then own the result. "
Of course you would have to abandon you working framework!
AmigaOS 4.x should be the result of a cooperation work and not only MorphOS!
And so of course you would have to port MorphOS modules to the chosen AmigaOS 4.x design.
And of course you can give your ideas on the design if you want, but since AmigaOS 4.x is
an Amiga Inc managed product, the last word will be from Amiga Inc.
If you are afraid by the eventuallity that H&P take the control of the operations,
just ask Amiga Inc to include a paragraph on the contracts that specify that any participants on
the AmigaOS development will have the same rights and will be considered as equal for Amiga Inc.
No one will and can take the control.
But it's an illusion to believe that you'll be able to make Amiga Inc accept all you ideas, first
because they have their own ideas and second because your ideas are NOT all good! You are not GOD!
When i read all your comments on mailling lists, IRC or ANN, i arrive to the conclusion that you want AmigaOS 4.x to be MorphOS.
But wake up! It's IMPOSSIBLE! Because of the nature of the humanity.
That's all :) I expect that this make you thinking a lot more on the subject.
Bye |
