I believe UBoot is an open-source project, so I imagine they're not the only ones using it:

Why do they care about U-Boot's when they are an Aerospace company?

Hehe, maybe U-Boots can fly like the pig which flies 15 minutes ago around my desk shortly before it dissappeared and my boss come in (or maybe i should sleep more than the past few weeks)...

Isn't Uboot a Canadian Submarine?

Wikipedia says "The term U-Boat is sometimes used in English, this comes from the German word for submarine, 'U-Boot', itself an abbreviation for Unterseeboot ('undersea boat')."

Ever watched the German movie "Das Boot"?

The german article is the better one

@AmigaBlitter: Maybe Ted is placing RFID chips in his Hot Dogs that can read (or maybe run) with AmigaAnywhere to get the best strategical position for his hot dog stand...

Note there is no mention of Amiga inc in the press release... and OS 4 is referred to as Hyperions multi-media centric, small foot-print embedded OS....

I found this very interesting as well... And I'm pretty sure that Amiga Inc will not agree to this.

As far as I know they consider OS4 as their product as well...

Interesting to see if something comes of this

Oh, you mean the best movie ever made or ever likely to -be- made about life

I felt like I was with them the entire lengthy journey.

I should report you for insulting Ted!

Now Ted can even calculate your change faster with the new AA Calculator patent technology from Amiga Inc. No more mistakes with adding 2 + 2 or 4 + 4, now every thing is calculated realtime and precise for your convienent. Nore more late back from lunch time. Ted believes, do you? Order your copy of AA calculator before the weekend and recieve a free t-shirt of your choice plus a free hotdog coupon.
Here at Amiga Inc. we do hotdogs right!

Exactly my own opinion about it, it's one of my favourite movies.
