I know what you're trying to get at, but the way I see it is a bit more straight forward:
All along there has been ONE party that has been trying to launch a rival (to Amiga Inc) platform to the SAME target group. It doesn't matter who was supposed to manufacture the hardwre at the time, because the sole purpose of obtaining the AmigaDE trademark was so simply use it to make the product look like an official AmigaNG product running an AmigaOS. Once purchased, the user would find himself not running the latest Workbench, but rather MOS with something else called AmigaDE stuffed neatly into a draw on Ambient.
The changing partners make no difference. The mergers and buyout make no difference. There's only one captain to this ship and the course he's been steering is quite obvious NOW.
I'm also sure that all parties now involved in the Gensei alliance have been working closly behind the curtains for a lot longer than most of us realise.
The plan has been modified several times, but the goal has remained the same:
Obtain the Amiga trademarks and licences as cheaply as possible, cripple or destroy Amiga Inc and undermine any rival hardware/software.
It's called business... |
