Interview with Ben Hermans from Hyperion : Comment 163 of 194 | ANN.lu |

But in the final equation OS5 might not happen. Amiga Inc. needs the whole community to make OS5 a viable platform, which is (I believe) the primary reason for doing OS4 at all. They need to keep the communtiy alive and together until OS5 is ready.
On that last bit they have and will fail. And with that failure they'll never get OS5 into public mainstream. Amithlon and MorphOS users will not return, because their system is likely not to be supported. And the community was *the* one edge OS5 would have over any OS-contender on the *huge* OS-market.
Before long Amiga Inc. will cut their loses and focus on DE solely. Depending how much money MorphOS/bplan have invested they might or might not live a bit longer.
And Amithlon/AROS? Will move quietly forward at a steady pace. They might end up being swallowed by one of those MultiOS-projects. Running *nix, BeOS, Darwin, windows, aros and others. These project *are* happening with various mixtures. |
