You mean like coupons which will not be honored and tee shirts that will not be shipped?

In a legal transaction of IP, typically it requires MONEY to change hands. If AmigaOS was legally purchased with MONEY where did it go? It did not go to pay Amiga Inc's outstanding debts. It did not go to pay any outstanding judgements against them. It did not go to ship product they owe their customers, you know shirts and coupons. It was also not reported to the courts. Obviously there was no significant transfer of money for the rights.

Now you tell me, does this sound like a legal above the table transaction from a legit company who's CEO has paraded as Amiga inc's CEO in the past?

"Maybe he means AmigaOS will run on different PPC platforms? Thats my guess."

It runs on 68k and on PPC - and my understanding is that Hyperion have coded the new version to be as easy to port as possible. Almost all of it is in gcc.

I think porting AOS4 to (for instance) ARM would be much easier than porting Windows.

I specifically like the suggestive questions made on a web site payed for by Eyetech, such as "Eyetech has done a marvellous job in providing the A1 and microA1 boards [question follows]...". Investigative journalism at its best ;-) The cozy relationship between Amiga, Hyperion, Eytech and amigaworld starts to stink. Wasn't the new AmigaOS supposed to be a competitive platform, open to licensing? Now it seems to have degenerated into a buddy game and as a consequence, users have to pay absurdly high prices and are subjected to Microsoft-style practices: no, you can't buy this OS, you can only buy a Eyetech hardware + Hyperion OS bundle. Sigh. Also, Gary Hare is very well informed: "To my knowledge, Hyperion, Eyetech, Amiga and, certainly KMOS, have never received a proposal from Pegasos regarding the OS." Dude, Pegasos is the name of the mainboard, it's not going to call you ;-) bbrv already did, as you kindly pointed out.

"One things for sure, with all the recent developments, Genesi are beginning to look pretty bad."

IMO both Genesi and Amiga Inc have been through a bad patch in the past year or so, and some of this is due to the bad relationship between them. Let's hope both straighten themselves out, forget the other company ever existed, and make a success of selling their products.

Both have products with potential, which in no way compete.

In reply to Comment 46 (Christophe Decanini):
I would say that Linux is cross platform. AmigaOS and OSX are not.

Ah, didn't notice who I was replying to, here. "Exactly," though Classic Amiga has a small leg on OS X by virtue of Amithlon and UAE. (Abstracting to a virtual 68k is completely frickin' ridiculous, but so is abstracting to x86.)

If you look at what he said, in light of his perspective:

One of the features that attracted us to the Amiga OS in the first place is that, by definition, it is cross-platform. Improvement in any one market should improve the others, including the desktop. If the same application played across all platforms and devices, so much the better.

I'm assuming we're "cross-platform" in his eyes because our single platform was once a game console, a "set top box," and three tiers of home computer, workstation, and (briefly, AmigaOS-unrelated) server. I'd call that "general-purpose," myself.

The modular design of AmigaOS, especially with Hyperion's cleanup work, does seem to make basic portability (of the OS itself) a bit less painful than average. At least until we start dealing with protected "IPC" down around the driver layer, but lots of designs have solved that 'better' than NT.

They didn´t, They just didn´t say they had sold it. To be quiet is not the same as telling a lie. Remember how Fleecy didn´t tell us anything at all. And I found nowhere in the court documents that anybody claim they own AmigaOS.

He answered that. The idea was to keep the whole thing quiet because there are other things he wants to buy, and the price goes up when people know you are interested.

Or maybe he means a virtual machine along the lines of UAE. In some sense, AmigaOS is like Java: it runs everywhere (with an m68k emulator), it has a virtual CPU (m68k), it has a well-defined complete API (OS3) and it certainly has a big pool of software, specifically games. A mobile device that could run Amiga games would be interesting.

Which questions in particular did you not feel was asked? Maybe we can submit them to KMOS and they can answer them? I can understand him not wanting to talk about future customers as OS4 isn't ready yet and it is likely not in their interest to go fully public.

The 'problem,' for us info-addicts, is that KMOS is not AInc., Hyperion, or Eyetech, and so all the really interesting stuff ("What's the deal with Mai?" "Has anyone written a new line of code for the DE or AACE base distribution in the past three years?" "Did Hyperion have a clue during half of these shenanigans?") is theirs to disclose, not his.

The one question I can think of that he could have knowledge to address: "Does Itec have anything to do with Eyetech?"

"Why has it everyone forgot McBill testified in court he was not CEO, that Garry Hare was?"

I think we have to accept that there was a period when Garry very nearly did become CEO of Amiga Inc, and both he and Bill McEwen thought it was going to happen any day.

Hence both this and the card. No doubt it was unwise to announce it before the deal was finalized, but I don't see that any deliberate deception was involved in this instance.

@SlimJim

You're assuming there is nothing to hide and everything is above board.

Once you drop that assumption you'll see exactly why a lot of people are saying that there are a bunch of questions still to be asked and answers still to be given. If I'm assuming AW sanitised the interview to make sure they didn't offend or upset Mr Hare it's because they have a track record for doing so. You can't take a militant attitude in support of all things AmigaOS4 and expect not to be judged by that marker.

If you're tired of reading views that consider everything coming from AW as being influenced by their declared policy of support and therefore sanitised or biased, you are free not to read them.

I think that is true right now, but AOS4 could fairly easily become cross-platform if the budget is there for Hyperion to port it.

To everyone that has made claims that Garry Hare lied, that his remarks were fluff, that he has deliberately manipulated facts over the past 12 months, or that he has been involved in extremely closed deals simply to put one over on the competition, I say - Prove it. If you ain't got proof, all you have is a small mind full of conspiracy theories.

In short - put up or shut up!

Okay, who is telling the truth here? Anonymous, or Gopal who appears to have read the court documents?

There are a lot of things going around on ANN that appear to be word of mouth and might not have been true in the first place. This is one of the things. The issue is that these unverified 'facts' are used as ammunition against Amiga Inc, KMOS, etc. Hell, completely made up stuff is used against KMOS and Amiga Inc in this very thread!

Amiga Inc have shut up, thank god. It is for the best. I think the interview has closed a lot of previous speculation, e.g., the business card - he printed them in anticipation - hence the poor business card quality - and the people he gave them to were told that he was anticipating the position, not that he had it. I feel sorry for Wayne on Amiga.org as he was misused by bbrv .... bbrv knew the state of play, yet misrepresented it to Wayne (mis)using the business card as evidence.

I hope that people will be able to live with Amiga Inc and KMOS not using forums as notices of future product releases! Not that I'd expect anything like that from a professional company.

Let's hope that Amiga Inc sort out the court cases and pay money that is owed and get back on track with whatever they are doing. Genesi hopefully will get some money and pay their employees, and then get on and be professional and do whatever they want to do.

Oh, and I find all this stuff on ANN against AmigaWorld.net as being totally childish and petulant. Get over it already.

In the end, what counts is final released products and software - not beta software, not beta hardware! Not hardware that will suddenly not be made anymore. Not software that isn't fully completed and operational and supporting the hardware it runs on fully. This applies to both sides.

Hmmm, Hyperion took on paid work last year that wasn't AmigaOS4 ... well, it wasn't AmigaOS4 for AmigaOne anyway. I'm sure they weren't allowed to disclose what that work was, but what if it was porting work for AmigaOS4 to ARM, MIPS or whatever?

That would be why Garry Hare is saying that AmigaOS4 is cross platform, and then going on about portable stuff.

Not a prophet, that requires being able to see the future. I never claimed to do that. I can only see the past, but that is apparently something some people are either incapable or unwilling to do.

No sorry it is you doing the damage not me. You don't coddle criminals, you expose them for who they are. So far KMOS has done nothing to prove to anyone that they are a legitimate outfit and have done everything to prove the opposite.
