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 47 of 51 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Andy Hall on 07-Nov-2001 16:09 GMT | In reply to Comment 45 (AlBolone): Sorry it seemed as if you were placing the blame entirely on Amiga.
I think Amiga got tangled up by trying to please everyone all the time, when they don't have the resources to. When they became Amiga, they wanted to work on DE as the next generation stuff, and leave the Classic to the comunnity, but with all the crap going on with the PCI bus-boards wars and the CGX/P96/Mediator bollocks, I think they felt obliged to step in.
Whatever happen there is no excuse for either parties behaviour. The sad thing is that it isn't just the stupid minority this time it's the heads of the industry!!!!
The amiga is a wonderful machine - hence why after 9 hours of computers a day I spend more on my amiga when I get home.
As I said before I think that those of us that can be objective about the whole thing should just stand back and let them get on with it. There are far more important things in life.
