AmigaOne to be demo'd THIS Sunday for first time in Australia! : Comment 115 of 132 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Anonymous on 19-Oct-2002 08:06 GMT | In reply to Comment 113 (Don Cox): > At least Amiga Inc didn't make that mistake. They have licensed and

Amiga, Inc. is not interested in AmigaOS. If they were, they would have staked out a plan for its future development and marketing. They would have said "this is what we want, we want it done by that date, we're targeting that market, we expect to sell X copies, we can't develop it ourselves, we're hiring/evaluating offers, what/when can you deliver and how much do you want?" They wouldn't have arbitrarily sold monopoly rights for third party hardware distribution for "their" OS.
Instead, Hyperion came along when AmigaOS had been scratched by AInc in favour of the awaiting Brave New WindowsCE Puzzle Game Player World, and got the permission to do OS4. Hyperion does all the development, Hyperion pays for the development, Hyperion takes the risks. AI continues with its DE stuff, cashes in a percentage and licensing money and releses markeitng speeches about how exciting everything is to the religious freaks on which AI depends for Free Advertising and Positive Trademark Association.
AI saying basically "yeah, yeah, go ahead, whatever, just pay us, now will you shut up and let us try to sell PDA games" to people like Hyperion, Eyeetch and Bernie Meyer is not supporting AmigaOS.
Neither are emulators like Amithlon a viable solution for the future of AmigaOS. Amithlon might be the beginning of a native x86-port of AmigaOS, but that would be *in spite* of AI, not *thanks to* them. Perhaps that project would get the "yeah, yeah, whatever, just pay us" blessing as well, but that's about as much as AI has to do with anything that old Amiga users are interested in. There's no support or directions coming from AI. |
