CEO of Amiga, Inc. Interviewed

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the momentum-still-going dept.

vlangber submitted an interview with Bill McEwen about the current state of Amiga, Inc. and their plans for the future. Bill says, "[W]e established the concept and vision of a scalable, embeddable, multi-threaded, memory protected operating system or digital environment that would run from a cell phone to a server. This is what you are going to see us deliver." While Amiga OS4 has been in pre-release since 2004, a final release is planned for later this year.

  1. Commodore are back too by mccalli · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Feels very strange to look at their web site though, somehow to me the name just doesn't click in the modern era. Here's what Commodore are doing today. As I understand it, a company bought all rights to the name and launched themselves as Commodore. Via the Retrobits podcast I heard an interview with a US salesman for them - apparently they're quite serious about the Commodore name, and want to revive the spirit and attitude of working rather than just the name.

    Having read about the way Commodore worked I'm not especially certain that's a great strategy, but it'll be interesting to hear what happens.

    Cheers,
    Ian
