amiga.org Planet IT: Interview with Bill McEwen
Dave Johnson from Planet IT did an interview with Bill McEwen, President and CEO at Amiga Inc. on January 8th, 2001.

Here a small extract from the six-pages interview:

Q: It sounds like you have plans to do a lot of things. Where are you concentrating your effort?

A: In the home. Homes need set-tops, desktop computers, handhelds and cell phones. Motorola even has a cell phone running the Amiga OS, by the way. The home is our target, and I think you'll see us first in set-top boxes. We also have some reference designs for some amazing desktops that we think will blow people away. We won't build hardware ourselves, but we have reference designs for others to build.

Q: So there could be new Amiga hardware coming out. Will there also be shrink-wrapped Amiga OS packages to run on Windows?

A: Yes, there will be, but I'm not sure what the timing will be. We're still finishing up some of the last components, like the 3D renderers. That will all be finished up in the next new months. Already, we can run very cool 3D animation on a Cassiopeia, and it is very smooth.

The entire interview is to find under the title link.
