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 62 of 63 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Donovan Reeve on 02-Apr-2001 22:00 GMT | Err...
I just want to move on to newer and better things. I don't
see anything to gain by fighting. (is there ever?)
And so, since Amiga Inc. seem to be the main ones interested
in moving on to newer and better things (and I don't consider
their need to control their own product as provocative) I support
Amiga Inc. Their plan over all sounds like it can work for the
long haul. The Amiga comunity doesn't need stop-gap measures,
we need long-term solutions. So let's just all pull together
despite our differences and make it go. They are the only ones
that have a plan that can generate them enough revenue to become
a major player in the market, thus enableing them (and the Amiga)
to survive. To be truthful, I the new Amiga Inc. hadn't come
along and started making sense just when they did, I would have
(finally) been forced to give up ever escaping the dull and
suffocating world that the other major players want to force us
into. So I don't begrudge Amiga Inc. the right to make a living
and even a huge profit (I hope) so they can make the kind of
stuff I want, which no other major OS developer is doing.
So I say... LONG LIVE AMIGA... and LONG LIVE AMIGA INC!
They are our best bet, imho.
cacha later,
