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..

With this way of thinking, no wonder this world is so fucked up.
If something dirty is done, even if it is in *your* interest, it
is against the interest of some other people (otherwise it wouldn't
be dirty, would it?), and the fact that they aren't from *your*
country doesn't make it more acceptable. If it's so dirty that you'd
loose your sleep if you knew, then you must not let it happen,
period. This "I don't want to know" way of thinking makes me sick.
D> Amiga Inc are this community's "elected government".
No.
<snip stinking war analogy>
This "this is war we must stick with our leader" is total bullshit
too. War or no war, you should not stop *thinking* and blindly
follow your "leader" just because he is on the same side of a line
than you and the so-called bad guys are on the other.

Sigh. So you don't know a damn, but they're called "Amiga Inc",
so you simply follow. You definitely spent too much time in the
army.
Sorry, this post doesn't have much to do with Amiga, but I just can't
let such a huge amount of crap unanswered. |
