AFUA visited Thendic-France : Comment 87 of 629 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Ruediger Hanke on 25-Apr-2002 08:55 GMT | In reply to Comment 83 (Samface): >Amiga Inc's plans for making a PPC AmigaOS has been known for quite some time
>now, why do you keep hanging on to stuff like that?
Excuse me, *when* in the last 10 years was the point where you could say that the development of a PPC AmigaOS was secured so that keepers of the Spirit of Amiga flame could be sure that an alternate OS project wasn't necessary?
When Jim Collas announced Amiga to become a Linux window manager?
When Tom "Long live Amiga" Schmidt took over and declared every talking fridge to be Amiga?
When Bill and Fleecy bought Amiga and announced it was the end of the line for the classic AmigaOS as "we must move forward [with the DE], not sidewards" (Fleecy's own words)?
When they published OS3.9 as a test whether there would be an audience for an OS4 and named conditions for a development of OS4 (50.000 copies of OS3.9 sold ...) that any sane human being could imagine would never be fulfilled?
When they changed their mind yet once more a year ago in St. Louis and announced AOS4 as their new strategy to be published on Nov 1st? Probably? But as we know since Nov 1st, the project failed. It *failed*. The "new" OS4 is a new project. They maybe had a filesystem and TCP/IP stack from the previous attempt, but that was it. |
