Joe|AFUA fleecy: sorry ;)
Joe|AFUA fleecy: Today, can you confirm us that the Pegasos/Plan will get the 'Zico' specifications to be an AmigaOne runing on the new AmigaOSPPC 4.x (and not only on MorphOS) ?
--> Bourreau (HelloWorld@ACB138C2.ipt.aol.com) has joined this channel.
Joe|AFUA Hello Bourreau !
fleecy Eyetech and bPlan are the only two licencees of the AmigaOne, and the Pegasos board was designed to be zico compliant. There will be more news over the next month
fleecy ga
Joe|AFUA fleecy: When have you really started the AmigaOSPPC 4.x development ? (MorphOS has started for 3 years)
fleecy We have had plans for PPC OS development for a few years but they were never implemented since the continuation of AmigaOS was always in debate.
fleecy ga
Joe|AFUA fleecy: Ok, but when did the AmigaOS 4.x PPC development really started?
Joe|AFUA fleecy: I mean the concrete things
fleecy That is an internal piece of information that I cannot reveal.
fleecy ga
Joe|AFUA fleecy: ok
Joe|AFUA fleecy: Who work on AmigaOSPPC 4.x exactly?
fleecy We have a number of internal and external resources working on - internal resources include our audio team, graphics team, comms team and system level developers. Hyperion and H&P are the external developers who have been happy to be identified
fleecy (but there are others who don't want to be identified), and more will be joining in the next few weeks.

Joe|AFUA fleecy: ok, so that's mean there are others external developers?
fleecy yes - ga
--> kikou (Johann@ABoulogne-102-1-1-16.abo.wanadoo.fr) has joined this channel.
fleecy AS you can understand, many people don't want to be identified for fear of being flooded by others with 'good ideas' ;-)
fleecy ga
Joe|AFUA fleecy: yes :-)
Joe|AFUA fleecy: In December 2001, you said that the AmigaOS 3.9 will be the last version except if 50.000 units are sold (economic constraints). Have you reached this sells ??
fleecy Again, those figures are private - however, it should be said that the decision to move AmigaOS forwards was a strategic decision, part of our decision to move ahead with an Amiga owned and designed digital store/server.
fleecy ga
Joe|AFUA fleecy: ok
Joe|AFUA fleecy: Does Amiga Inc plan to get some modern software technologies, like Real, Quicktime 4, for AmigaOS and/or AmigaDE, or do you think it's up to these company to do the job ? (As Amiga Inc wants to have Amiga-powered devices everywhere in the house, I think these technologies are very important for a "multimedia" OS)
«Quit» Bourreau (HelloWorld@ACB138C2.ipt.aol.com) has signed off (Signed off).
fleecy Yes they are very important and where the player code is freely available then we will implement them. However, where they cost money, then we have to weigh that up against the other things we could be doing with that money.
fleecy ga
Joe|AFUA fleecy: ok
Joe|AFUA fleecy: As far as i have understood, the AmigaOS 4.x compatibility on AmigaOS 5.x will be made via an emulation box, is that true? If yes, MorphOS already do this, why not trying to work with the MorphOS Team to develop MorphOS?
fleecy Who said we aren't talking to the MorphOS team? If we do work with them though, it should also be understood that OS5 is something very different from any existing AmigasOS compatible product.
fleecy ga
Joe|AFUA fleecy: ok
Joe|AFUA fleecy: In 2000, your project was the AmigaDE as OS for the new Amigas and since Saint-Louis 2001, you have chosen to develop finally an AmigaOS full PPC.Why to change your first choice ? can not the universel AmigaDE run on a PowerPC?
fleecy We haven't changed this - AmigaDE was originally conceived of as being a product that works everywhere - it still is....
Joe|AFUA fleecy: ok, but you planned to make a desktop AmigaDE before. Can you explain why you have prefered to change for AmiagOS 4.x/5.x strategy?
fleecy however we have decided that at the server end, it is better to host the DE rather than try to put it directly on the hardware itself. As such, we can get better performance if we control the host OS, and thus it made sense to develop the AmigaOS to be that host.
fleecy The AmigaDE still is a desktop OS - it will run on desktops - ppl have to get rid of the idea that just because there is something else underneath it, it isn't a desktop OS.
fleecy ga
Joe|AFUA fleecy: In fact the real Desktop OSes will be windows, Linux, AmigaOS...etc and AmigaDE will be hosted on them, so AmigaDE is not really a desktopOS, is it?
fleecy Why not? If I give you a build of AmigaDE running on linux and you can't access Linux, what do you have? What is your definition of a desktop OS, and then why is that definition important? If you get the functionality, performance and applications for the profile (desktop) then why isn't it a desktop?
fleecy ga
Joe|AFUA fleecy: ok
Joe|AFUA fleecy: in fact for me OS is native, not upon an other OS. Otherwise it's a runtime....
Joe|AFUA fleecy: but never mind
fleecy but why do you care?
Joe|AFUA fleecy: AmigaDE is an incredible powerful architecture, but at the time of end of the BeOS adventure, is there any plan for a "killer" app ? which is obviously mandatory for any significant success...
fleecy Killer apps are merely solutions to a problem for which there was no solution. The new problems are that normal people still have to go through complex, confusing interfaces and technology to do what they want. For the AmigaDE, there is no planned killer app because the AmigaDE itself IS the killer app.
fleecy ga
Joe|AFUA fleecy: ;-) ok
Joe|AFUA fleecy: Concretely, what will be the differences between a computer which run AmigaOS 5 and a computer which run an OS (Windows/Linux/MacOS (?))+ AmigaDE hosted ?
fleecy The AmigaOS5 computer will be better - we will have designed OS5 from scratch with revolutionary new foundations and the AmigaDE integrated into it. Because we control the whole OS, the DE will run on it better than on any other host.
fleecy ga
Joe|AFUA fleecy: ok, why the foundations of OS5 will be so "revolutionary"? ;)
fleecy All existing OSs are built upon computing principles that are over 40 years old and which have been constrained by the developments at MS and Intel. We have started from scratch and have looked at the digital world as it will be - complex componentised content that can be anywhere and can go anywhere.
Joe|AFUA fleecy: Ok. And do you think that you will have enough money to make it?
fleecy Existing solutions are still based on files, batches and polling.
fleecy I hope so ;-) Our business plan suggests so. Most of our money will be made from content sales for DE powered devices such as cell phones and PDAs, and for the DE itself once it becomes available as a consumer product on Windows. Once OS5 is done, then we will have a huge revenue stream from embedded home servers. The AmigaOS as a standaloen OS and platform will not make us that much money for a good few years.
fleecy ga
Joe|AFUA fleecy: ok
Joe|AFUA fleecy: Can you today confirm a MacOS (Classic or X) version of the AmigaDE ? I think Mac users are far more concerned by content than Linux gurus ;o)
fleecy I can't confirm it but given that the AmigaOS version will be on PPC and that OSX shares a lot of similarities with Linux at the lower levels, and that as you say, they are content hungry, I would say it is something that we would be keen to develop sooner rather than later.
fleecy ga
Joe|AFUA ok
Joe|AFUA fleecy: AmigaDE is the killer app if AmigaDE runs in a significant number of devices available for all. That means a lot of partnership with electronic devices builders. Where are we today in this path to success.. ?
fleecy You have to understand that to achieve this, you need to sign up the big CE companies and the big content broker companies (ISPs, Media companies). The big companies are already intertwined in many different relationships and often develop parallel products, just in case one fails...
Joe|AFUA fleecy: ok
Joe|AFUA fleecy: Have you been contacted by big hardware or software companies like  Microsoft, nVidia, Intel, Corel, etc..?
fleecy ...that said, we are heavily into talks and partnerships with many of these companies. However, these companies announce only when they want to announce. Sharp is obviously a big one but we are working with bigger ones.
Joe|AFUA sorry to have cutted you :)
fleecy I can't give details of individual companies unless they have decided to make public announcements, but yes, we are talking to companies at that level.
fleecy ga
Joe|AFUA fleecy: Amiga Inc has several times announced Corel as a partner (under the Collas era, and IIRC at the beginning of the actual Amino era :o). Is Corel still a partner ? or is it now top-secret ? :)
fleecy Corel have changed their tack - since Cowpland left and MS put loads of money in, they have moved from supporting Linux to supporting .net
fleecy ga
Joe|AFUA fleecy: ok
Joe|AFUA fleecy: Are you continuing to work with TaO Group ?
fleecy Very much so. The AmigaDE uses it as a foundation so if we didn't talk to them, we wouldn't get very far ;-)
fleecy ga
Joe|AFUA fleecy: ok
Joe|AFUA fleecy: Today, can you give us more dates of the AmigaOnePPC^Eyetech launching ?
fleecy No 8-) Whilst we are working in close partnership with Eyetech, the AmigaOne PPC 1200 is their product and I can't pre-empt any announcements that they may want to make. I can tell you that I spoke to them yesterday and everything is on schedule.
fleecy ga
Joe|AFUA fleecy: ok
Joe|AFUA fleecy: What became the first promise product on AmigaDE : the Set-Top-Box by Meternet (announced for December 2001 for 399 $) ?
fleecy Lots of STB box manufacturers got hit badly by the investment collapse 4Q2000, Indrema went down, Netpliance I think have gone down. Meternet haven't but have had to seriously limit operations. It hasn't been an easy 6 months for anyone in this market.
fleecy ga
Joe|AFUA fleecy: ok
Joe|AFUA fleecy: Bill McEwen promised in 2000 150 softwares (50% games) for the AmigaDE, what will they become with an AmigaOSPPC
Joe|AFUA ?
fleecy The beauty of the DE and having it on OS4.2 is that developers can chose to develop
Joe|AFUA fleecy: ok
fleecy for the DE and get a big market or for OS4.2 and get a smaller but higher power product.
fleecy ga
Joe|AFUA Now about the french market
Joe|AFUA fleecy: What do you think about french market? Are you planning to support it? And if yes how?
fleecy We are planning to support all markets. This will be done initially via the remaining Amiga developers, dealers and publications. We want to work with the loyal community if there is one left. Once the AmigaOne, OS4 and AmigaDE are out, lots of other companies will start to come in and get a slice of the pie as well, and existing Amigans can help a lot to spread the word.
fleecy What we need is for national communities to come together and tell us how we can get back into those markets. After all, you all know the french market better than any of us.
