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 45 of 51 | ANN.lu |
| Posted by AlBolone on 07-Nov-2001 14:05 GMT | In reply to Comment 42 (Andy Hall):
Don't get me wrong about who's to blame. I don't think that the MorphOS dudes handled the situation too carefully eigher. But as mothercompany Amiga Inc. is responsible to keep the market and faith alive and in the longer term this is only archievable by delivering convincing products or convincing information. They rather failed with both... and caused dissappointment, anger and doubts - while the market keeps breaking away! The policy of bplan/MorphOS may not be very gentle, but expresses a frustration that is very compatible with the common status of the community.
If Amiga Inc. would have handled their responsabilities wiser in the past bplan and a lot of users might have no reason to flame like they do. But that they do is a RED FLAG to Amiga Inc. saying this is getting a serious emergency... and therefore a final chance for Amiga Inc. to really prove themselfs! And if they do, OS alternatives won't stand a chance!!
@ gz: I think, we have the same expectations from Amiga Inc. :¬) ! Why the hell should we be happy with what Amiga has done so far, when there's nothing to really buy, nothing to tell others, nothing to be proud of or looking forward too? And objectively stating that there's a serious lack here is nothing but acting responsible... thanks, for wanting the Amiga were it belongs :¬) !! |
