Say who ? I thought it was already said: We do want to support the Pegasos board. It's firmly planned. Unfortunately, we haven't received a developer board yet, but if we ever get one, OS4 will run on the Pegasos.

AmigaOS 4.0 on Pegasos : Comment 49 of 510 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Ben Hermans/Hyperion on 15-Apr-2002 15:01 GMT | I must point out that at the time of writing, Thomas was unaware of the Executive Update by Amiga so therefore his answer to it must be seen in that context.
Matter of fact is that we are eager to support the Pegasos (as can be seen by our application for a developer board and our unilateral approach of bPlan at the recent Amiga show).
It should however be clear that Hyperion does not dictate the rules here and if Amiga puts in place a certification scheme (which we actually think is a good idea), then we abide by that.
It's a matter of fact that bPlan can apply for certification just like any other company if they wish to ship OS 4.
It's a matter of fact that third parties like dealers can buy bPlan boards in quantity, get them certified by Amiga and ship them with OS 4.
There really isn't anything sinister about this scheme.
I should also point out that contrary to popular belief you don't need to pay Amiga anything for the certification.
What you are paying for, is OS 4 OEM and obviously the cost of OS 4 should be born by the end-customer, not the dealer or bPlan.
I fail to see what is so "evil" about this that a company must submit to certification and ship its product with OS 4 to those users that have specifically requested it.
It's not like Amiga is demanding that all these "industrial customers" of bPlan need to get a copy of OS 4.
It's not like Amiga is demanding that people interested in getting a Linux machine only get OS 4.
This isn't Microsoft where you need to pay for an OEM install of Windows even if the first thing you do is to install Linux. |
