What do you really want? Amiga OS4, DE, OS5.
Who should develop the Amiga OS?
Who must provide the hardware?

Your opinion, please.

Helgis: let us know your opinion.

-- What I want first is a Desktop AmigaOS... Which a PDA AmigaOS would complement nicely...

-- New Amiga Hardware, preferably upgradable (like A1-XE instead of the MicroA1)
-- Another AOS4 update (or final).

Hyperion IMHO can carry on developing AOS (4.x or 5.x or above) as so far I think they are doing a great job !

For the Hardware, I don't really mind who is developing it as long as they are serious and care about their user base (so no ex-86 or Pegs for me).

AOS 4.0 Pre1 - AOS 7.8 beta4 on *anything*:

Don't care as soon as it doesn't take them as long as Hyperion to arrive at a "final" version.

Quote:

Of course it would be best if I could just go to a computer store around the corner and buy some cheap hardware to run AOS.
But basically *any* hardware would do: PPC (including A1, PV, Peg, ClassicPPC, Mac) or (best choice) X86.

I also want OS4 on the Peg2 (or Mini Mac or whatever).

I want a motherboard+cpu that runs OS4 for £300 or less. Now.

- insert profound text here -

I want an Amiga Computer (I don't care who builds it) that will handle the following formats:
MP3
MPEG
PDF
DOC
TXT
XLS
OGG
LHA
WAV
MIDI
and other common file types.
The OS needs a good office program (maybe Open Office), great emulators (for Mac, Win, and Classic Amiga programs) or a great translator (like WINE for Linux), and it needs decent security features (maybe a built in hardware firewall, AI anti-virus, and ghost tools).
The big thing is Amiga needs to mass produce so that they can get people to start buying their product. I have waited since the death of Commodore Amiga for a new Amiga computer and I'm getting tired of waiting.

I want an Amiga-Like operating system. OS4 seems to be the best contender, but I'd happily use AROS if it was nearer completion. At the moment, I can use neither.

I even tried AmiWM on Linux, but it was nasty.

Edit: Blimey! I just tried out AROS Max 0.4.8. It's come along a hell of a lot since I last used it!

Don't care. Hyperion seem to be doing OK don't they?

Again, don't care. Anyone! Genesi seem to be an obvious choice, due to their ability to actually ship PPC hardware, but I know that won't happen.

I want OS4 on reasonably priced hardware (preferrably desktop, laptop and PDA all supported... hey i can dream). I want the current OS4 team to develop it as they've proven their capability in my eyes and are doing a DAMN fine job.

I am somewhat underwhelmed at the thought of anything produced by Amiga, Inc.

AmigaOS4.0.

Quote:

Not AmigaInc (because I need software for desktop computer, not for handset phone)
I would a Amiga software guys that will get money from Amiga comunity and hardware dealers, so we could get a new CATS team.

Quote:

I don't know.
AmigaInc isn't interested in desktop market, so I think to other company...but who?, and how?

Done I'm not negative, but I don't want wait or belive for pig or cow....walking in the sky

I want OS4. I don't have a use for DE, my cell phone can't even run it. Nor can my PDA, but I don't use that anyway. Do I want to run a tiny slot machine or puzzle game under Windows PC? Not really. We dont' know what OS5 is, so we can't want or not want that.

Whoever is capable, cares about it, and has the resources to do it.

Quote:

Whoever is capable, cares about it, and has the resources to do it. I don't believe that a current revenue stream of $500K+ is required to be capable, care or make it happen, but it can't hurt.

1. OS4 on Pegasus PPC.

2. A new Individual Computers 030 board for my A600.

3. Amiga Inc. to set up a lemonade stall at the North Pole.

Edited: tweaked order .

AmigaOS(x) on regular fv##### x86 hardware I can buy no matter what the state of Amiga Inc or the list of "Fortune $500,000.00" hardware companies associated with them.

Don't care who develops it.

*I* want to provide the hardware. Nobody else will.

I'd settle for OS4 on the Peg, it could happen right now if heads were removed from present coordinates.

Oh, and OS4.1 on G5 hardware that costs less than $500 for the CPU and motherboard.

I'd like in the first place to have AOS4 final on new not to expensive but expandable hardware (like the PegII for example as far as equipment concerns - but im also very interested in the Samantha specs) and on Classics!

@AmigaBlitter

All I won’t is a fast OS whit lots driver support…
I interested in native applications running at full speed.
AmigaOS4 is on its way… and I like it… its fast respective all I need is 3D driver and maybe faster hardware for the upcoming games.

AmigaOS5 if that is the visions of Fleecy then don’t won’t it, if it’s AmigaOS4.0 + Amiga Anywhere on top, then go ahead., if it Amiga Anywhere whit AmigaOS4.0 on top then I’m going to cry, please don’t, I don’t won’t a JIT compiler as host OS, I won’t a real OS, not some WinUAE type hardware abstraction layer, if AmigaOS5 is an x86 version of AmigaOS4 whit out 680x0 support then I’m fine whit that, but I’m not going to buy it or use it.

I’m not interested in Pocket PC (PPC) games, java games.

I’m interested in OpenGL, fast graphics, nice web experience, and the Amiga OS.
If Hyperion end whit closed doors, AmigaOS5 not being what I’m after then I’m switching to MacOSX or maybe MorphOS, end of the storey.

I've said what I want several times, so I expect you don't need me to say it again.

I don't care about Chip memory any more though.

I've never been a fan of MorphOS, ever. But all this has got me thinking, maybe MorphOS on X86 is the future....

@AmigaBlitter

I want AOS4 to progress steadily.
I want it to go on and get better and better.
Whatever the version number, I want it to make the closest next step at any time, time after time: if the next step is getting a good driver for a given graphic card, be it; if the next step is MP, be it; if the next step is multi-user capability, be it. If the next step is complete HW abstraction, be it.
I want it to be in the hands of people who can draft a clear path keeping this in mind.
I want it to be in the hands of people who can draft a long-term path without losing the focus on the present.
I want it to be in the hands of competent people who work at it with love.
I want it to be in the hands of people who are able to introduce it in the market and then let it grow strong.
I want it to be in the hands of people who are firm, but don't have a passion for fights.
Maybe I just want too much.
