Read Fleecy's comments from the AmigaOne mailinglist below.
Yes Amiga is in control of OS4.0 - we have merely outsourced
the project management. I am in daily contact with Hyperion and a feature document and deadlines and timescales are mulled over in minute detail.
As I explained at the show, this deal is more about freeing
Amiga up to work on the SGA (Second Generation Amiga). AmigaOS4.0 was always more to do with getting a PPC based OS working on very specific PPC HW, and we were wasting a lot of time bouncing backwards and forwards. With the outsourcing agreement, the implementation has been moved much closer to the first piece of HW itself.

Fleecy comments on outsourcing AmigaOS : Comment 12 of 51 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Graham on 06-Nov-2001 16:30 GMT | In reply to Comment 6 (gz): - Also he is saying he's NOW in contact with hyperion and scheduling
- timetables and deadlines for the project with them. A thing that should
- have F***ing been done SEVEN months AGO!
No he isn't. He is saying what he says - that every timetables, deadline, etc is gone over in detail with Hyperion. Doesn't say that it started yesterday - it could have been happening for months for all you know.
Amiga are working on DE. It was with their own concern for the Amiga community that they worked on AmigaOS4. I bet they wish they hadn't, and that they had just dumped the community, what there is of it anyway. AmigaDE is the technology for the future, AmigaOS 4/5 is just a native OS base for it providing drivers and an interface to the hardware for desktop and server systems.
As I have said before, whatever anyone from Amiga say, someone will twist into their own agenda. It is best for Amiga to not say anything and for the community to stay in the dark, but then other people with agendas come along and spread FUD and rumours about Amiga being broke/dead/out-of-business/no-phones. BLATANT LIES. Amiga can't win with this community - I suggest they release a statement saying "F*** You, Community" and go and work on something else that they want, not what the community wants.
Do you think that Bill, Fleecy, Gary, etc haven't got a lot of their own money, time, resources in Amiga Inc. They want it to succeed as much as any true Amiga supporter does. Wow, so some software got delayed. Like that doesn't happen every day in the software industry. Get a grip. |
