Amiga Inc. April executive update : Comment 19 of 186ANN.lu
Posted by Keith Blakemore-noble on 13-Apr-2002 14:08 GMT
In reply to Comment 16 (acg):
I have absolutely no problems with AInc having a licensing mechanism so that customers can be reassured that if a system says it is Amiga-compatible then it IS Amiga-compatible and will run the OS.
Indeed, I strongly support such an approach!
What I DO have a problem with is the way in which AInc is using this as a way of sneaking in their Amiga Tax but insisting that EVERY system capable of running AOS4 *MUST* be sold with a copy of AOS4, regardless of whether the customer WANTS AOS 4 or not.
Akin to Microsoft's insistance that shops sell PCs with a copy of Windows, whether the customer wants Windows or not.
They try to justify this in the name of "anti-piracy" and ensuring that customers don't find their computer won't run AmigaOS when they thought it would, but the fact remains it is a nasty underhanded Amiga Tax, pure and simple. there is absolutely NO justification for demanding that AOS is sold with systems just because they can run it - there are plenty of ways of ensuring that only liensed copies of the OS are run which do NOT require everyone to pay AInc for software even if they don't have the slightest intention oif ever using it.
THAT is where my objection lies. The licensing of systems itself is a damned good idea; the imposition of Amiga Tax is a damned BAD idea.
All imho, naturally.
