Pegasos II G4 1GHz benchmarks! : Comment 352 of 356 | ANN.lu |
Posted by samface on 18-Jan-2004 16:17 GMT | In reply to Comment 350 (Kronos): >1. AInc only turned back to AOS when they found out that all their grand

No, they have not "turned back to" AmigaOS. The initial plan to replace the classic AmigaOS product line with this entirely new OS (AmigaOS5) has not been changed, they just changed the modus operandi. Instead of making a clean cut from the classic AmigaOS product line, they intend to gradually replace it, piece by piece. AmigaOS5 will offer backwards compatibility through an AmigaOS4 "sandbox", kind of like how MacOS9 and higher offers backwards compatibility with old 68k MacOS applications.

Unfortunately, certain partnerships didn't turn out as expected, no. Why rub it in?
>3. They recognize that their is still money to be made on AOS.
LOL! What planet are you living on? I doubt the AmigaOS4 sales will even cover the costs for the still to be delivered Club Amiga T-Shirts. Get real.
>4. They think they hold all the good cards, and play a game of poker.
No, you're the one playing and betting on "guestimates".
>5. bPlan (and also H&P) have no interest in what the see as game which has

I'm no fool, Kronos. Genesi is trying with every means available to them in order to get their hands on the Amiga brand and IP. Where were you the day Bill Buck and Wayne Hunt made the assumption that they had won the court case against Amiga Inc. because Amiga Inc.'s lawyer asked for permission to leave and withdraw as counsel? The very same day, they spread the information that Amiga Inc. had lost all over the internet and put Amiga's brands and trademarks all over their website. Pretty hypocritical by someone claiming to not wanting nor needing the brand, isn't it?
>7. They negotiate with Hyperion (rumour says they also tried other before).
Yes, Hyperion stepped in when there was noone else and thank the gods for that, I wouldn't even want to imagine what would've happened if they didn't.
>8. They come to an agreement that pretty much means that Hyperion has all the
>rights to OS4.
Well, until Amiga Inc. decides to take it back in-house, that is. It's a good deal for both parties, but especially Amiga Inc. who gets to focus all their resources on the AmigaDE instead, just like they planned from the beginning.
>Also note that AInc never ever invested a single dime into OS4 or the A1,
>while they had no problem cashing in on pre-payments/coupons twice (and long
>before there was anything to pre-pay for).
What pre-payments? There was no pre-payments. People joined the Club Amiga for $50 and in return they will get a rebate on those products for the same amount as soon as AmigaOnes with AmigaOS4 are available. Please stop dragging this all up again and again everytime someone even as much as mentions Amiga Inc. You're not even a Club Amiga member yourself which makes this none of your concern to begin with.
>About negoting terms:

You're right. Could you please tell your friends over at Genesi that we're on a planet called Tellus and that we'll be the first to welcome them when they land. :-P |
