Interview with Ben Hermans from Hyperion : Comment 73 of 194 | ANN.lu |
Posted by windtalkers on 08-Nov-2001 12:35 GMT | In reply to Comment 21 (smithy): >In fact, BeOS/x86 increased the sales of BeOS massively, generated revenue and >gave them a high street presence.
And that's why they ended up giving it for free?
Pleeeeaze... get your facts straight
>Market dynamics. In every young market with fast growth there are always too >many players, when the market starts to mature some players disappear.
This is just an excuse, the players who disappear are usually the small ones, not the biggest ones as in this case
"Corel sold out all Linux stuff."
>If I remember correctly that was something to do with Microsoft purchasing a >stake in Corel, not because of the state of the Linux market.
Nothing to do with Microsoft, but with the fact that people don't buy SW for Linux as they are already running Windows and most likely already have the same software. And this is the fear Hyperion has of an x86 AmigaOS, and rightly so.
It would make no sense in porting Windows games to AmigaOS
>QNX are moving into the desktop market and seem to be doing well from it.
Are you kidding yourself? |
