SciTech Software Inc. announcement : Comment 132 of 195 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Anonymous on 19-Feb-2003 11:09 GMT | In reply to Comment 125 (James Carroll): "If Bill Buck wants OS 4.0 on the Pegasos, they should contact the appropriate people through the appropriate business channels. Not fuck around with public forum marketing gimmicks/PR stunts."
And if Hyperion wants to run OS4 on Pegasos (a new target market for them), they should contact Genesi about it if Genesi are passive about it. I don't care what the channel, I believe getting the message through is the most important thing. Their lack of doing anything about it now (when they have been responded to, even if in public) shows a lack of interest on Hyperion's part.
It goes both ways, no matter what you people think. If Hyperion is not interested in running OS4 on the Pegasos, they should just come out and say it. They have every right to feel that way, but that is a completely separate issue from getting a Pegasos. If they truly would want one, they could get it.
Placing all the blame on Genesi is simply incorrect. It used to be a valid reason when they were actively seeking to get a Pegasos from bPlan and didn't get one (since the limited runs went to critical MorphOS developers), but then came this new AmigaOS licensing policy, and bbrv's public offer was not accepted or even directly commented on (it was considered false by Hyperion at the time without checking even though Ben apparently now believes it was genuine). Hyperion lost that reason and the highground then and there. |
