Apparently according to one of their directors the company hasn't gone bankrupt and it is an administration error. We don't know if this is true or not.. we will just have to wait and see.

If they did go bust it would mean OS4 rights reverting to Amiga Inc, which would probably be even worse.

The really sad thing is that regardless of ownership, no one is doing anything much with Amiga OS. OS4 really hasn't evolved in the last 10 years and is such in a dead end whilst they keep it locked into the dead PPC platform. They would only ever move forward by moving over to Intel and finally unlocking all the best PC hardware available to the OS. Imagine the speed of OS 4 on an i3, let alone an i5 or i7? That would be amazing.

Personally I'd like to see OS4 on ARMs. It would make a neat OS for a Raspberry Pi.

The only problem I have with them continuing to use PPC hardware is the cost. It is very expensive.

Probably they aren't considering the latest statements, but following the super-expensive PPC route it's not good either.
