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..

In reply to Comment 42 (Andy):
Andy..please also remember what i said *completely*
about the mediator ppc at *that* time.
to sum up the list afair
o lack of resources
o no existing specs==don't know if it would be possible
o not enough sales
o work payment very unlikely..so all on our own risk.
o and very important...the distance of about 1000+ km distance
which is impossible to *debug* somebody's *hw* to get our
thing running. I have done hw/sw debugging for more than
10 years now and this does not work over distance.
We needed about 2.5 months *hw/sw* debugging at Phase5 to
get the CyberstormPPC fully running.
As i said..when MorphOS runs on the bplan board==is hw independent
there is a chance to support other HW and more refine our HAL so
that maybe *others* can adapt the HAL to their HW.
Come on folks...this is not some black&white thing.
So please...next time you wanna toast me use the full content and
not only pick one sentence to set it into the kind of angle you
prefer.
