Amiga CEO on OS5, Mac OS X
Amiga CEO Bill McEwen has declared that his company's OS5 will be better than Mac OS X, insisting that the forthcoming operating system has much to offer while refusing to give any details. Amiga's OS5 is well underway, according to McEwen, who promised to serve up a press release before the end of 2007 offering details on Amiga's secret project. "Details for OS 5 will be made public in the fourth quarter of 2007, and then you will have a much clearer understanding and I will let you decide if what I know to be true is accurate," the executive said. OS5 is said to scale to its host hardware, allowing the system software to run on anything from mobile phones to consoles and servers. Amiga is currently fighting a legal battle over OS4, but McEwen said OS5 is ahead of schedule as he reiterated forthcoming announcements in the fourth quarter of this year.

glad to see everyone ignored this article. As a long time Amigan.... let me say, that, this is what I'd call a hobbyist company, its not clear if they have offices or employees, or they are running things from their bedrooms...they cartainly don't generally release the products they claim they are going to release. I regard announcements from these guys as being little more than geeks trying to garner some attention.
They did once release an SDK, it was mostly a repackaged IDE from another company...but its not out of the realm of possibility, that someone would use the famous name to release something...but highly unlikely nevertheless.
