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 23 (Kevin):
Err... better NOT compare to Mac OS8. We HAD to upgrade 4 times
in 2 1/2 years as the graphics handling was changed with each
new release and with OS9 also (8.1, 8.5, 8.6, 9.0). It cost us
many thousands of dollers because each time we had to buy not
only the OS upgrad (for the price of over a hundred loaves of
bread), but a new version of PhotoShop and PageMaker at about
$500 U.S. a copy each time for each of our three Macs. And, it
cost us additional thousands of $ in man-hours to get the systems
all set up and finally working (many weeks and many patches later
for all the software concerned) before color matching would work
again with system 8.5.
We are spoiled on the Amiga. The cost of upgrades has been
tiny compared to other systems. And why is it that people gripe
and whine so much about upgrading their Amiga hardware when many
of the same people don't complain at all about having to buy a
whole new machine with all the trimmings every 2 years for windoze?
Where are the 1987 - 1992 wintels and Macs now? Is anybody still
useing them? I anybody even still using 1995 wintels? Very FEW.
So don't gripe about having to buy a whole new Amiga once a decade,
and upgrade it a few times. If a totally state-of-the-art Amiga
had come out any time in the last 6 or 8 years would any of the
whiners have bought it? Highly unlikely. They would have just
griped that it was to expensive (even if it was priced about the
same as a comparable or worse peecee) and wanted it for the price
of a hand-held calculator. (Well, yeah... I would like that too,
but let's be realistic. Manufacturers gotta live too.)
Fact. No matter who does it, it costs money to create an OS,
any other software, and hardware too. If we aren't willing to
pay for it, we WONT GET IT because all the manufacturers will
just move on to where they can make a living. Would'nt you?
cacha later,
