The Register Mentions New Amiga Anywhere. (AOS5) (Now with Video)

http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2008/01/07/ces_amiga_os_5_surfaces/

Gimme a break! Better than MAC OSX? I don't think so!

After all the BS and Bluster from McEwen, this is the best
he could come up with? A warmed over, half-baked kludge
long overshadowed by a slew of last millennia technologies.

Just simply pittiful. McEwen should be ashamed.

If true then it seems I was right saying that 'AOS5' is just a media player on steroids and that it has very little, if anything at all, to do with Amiga.

@orgin

Well, as has been suggested elsewhere, there is a distinct possibility that with Amiga inc being tied up with Microsoft, Amiga Inc only want the Amiga OS back so that they can kill it. I am sure Microsoft don't want a rival OS anywhere.

It seems feasible to me that Amiga Inc would only want OS4 back in house so that they can kill it altogether.

Cheers Mr McEwen

@Mikey_C

Its a freeken joke.. a bad one.. I am not interested in running AmigaOS on my cell phone.. I had some hopes, but they are all gone now.. BILL! WE WANT A COMMENT FROM YOU on THIS.. AND PLEASE GIVE the COMMUNITY WHAT THEY WANT!

At least try..

@Alkaron

Do we rally, I can't care less!

@Mikey_C

I already commented on that on The Reg !!

@Alkaron

I would mind seeing a phone that ran Amiga OS but not this Amiga Anywhere tripe.

Spacedruid has a good point, very little is known about AA2, So this debate is more based on beliefs and/or wishes then facts.

Can't see that because Microsoft have recently released a new version of MS office for the Mac.

Have you seen this video?

I think that just about sums things up, Amiga inc definately want to Kill the Amiga Operating System.

Hi Mikey_C, All,


What Amiga Inc is shooting for is incomprehensible, due to the fact that, the "Amiga Everywhere" concept could ONLY be enhanced by allowing Hyperion Entertainment to proceed at WHATEVER pace and direction they wish to go in.....

Why? Because then there are TWO chances for success and then it WOULD be "Everywhere".


The TWO distinct products COULD co-exist.

AOS5.0 needs NOTHING from AOS4.x.


Amiga Inc. Del. should just sit back and collect license fees from Hyperion on amount of copies sold and leave well enough alone our pursuits and goals.
