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 41 of 63 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Darrin on 01-Apr-2001 22:00 GMT | In reply to Comment 39 (Ralph Schmidt): That's not the point - we've all spent money on the Amiga, but it's Amiga Inc who purchased the rights to fly the true Amiga flag and dictate the direction for the future.
I said before (long time ago) that MorphOS would be backed if it became the oficial OS4, but as that's not the case then too bad. It's a shame, but too bad.
And before you start ranting on again about how you know what's best for the Amiga market and that you know what the Amiga community wants then I'll redirect your attention to the ANN poll which shows over three quarters of the visitors are behind Amiga Inc, some are unsure and only 11% are against it. 11%!!! - thats 1 in 10. How many of these are freeloaders who won't pay for your product? How many of these people use a Mediator and although they'd like MorphOS they won't get it due to your differences with Elbox, how many of these people just want a pure DE solution and don't want MorphOS either (Is that MorphOS(TM)?) and how many just don't understand the question? It's probably fairer to say that your expected Market Share if you go alone is about 1 in 10000. So, build your empire, King Ralph, and enjoy it while you can.
Alternatively, you could work on an OS4+ compatible product and rejoin the band waggon. You're either for Amiga Inc or against them, and if you're against them then you're just part of the problem. |
