Why?

As well know, there is no Amiga hardware, and there is not likely to be anytime soon since Amiga Inc. are being complete kill joys. So why is Hyperion doing this? Does anyone have any idea what motive they have? Does this aid their legal case against Amiga Inc. somehow?

Nycran, please check your inbox (on this site) ;-)

back OT:

Hmmm... It's been more than 18 months, isn't the company that owns the Amiga IP supposed to sell it off so that the cycle can start again?

By the time AmigaOS 4.1 is out, I'm sure SkyOS will run on some Amiga hardware. Ugh, wait, what Amiga hardware...

Seriously -- I'm not buying anything Amiga-related these days. At least my A500 is comfortably sitting on its desk.

Please try again and read the announcement. OS4.1 is only for AmigaOne (for now).
