Pegasos sales restarting : Comment 132 of 156 | ANN.lu |
Posted by samface on 01-Feb-2004 12:47 GMT | In reply to Comment 127 (Alkis Tsapanidis): >Who? Hyperion?
Hyperion, Eyetech, the Picasso96 Team, Cloanto, Elbox, DCE, Haage&Partner, Bernd Meyer (Amithlon), Martin Blom (AHI), etc. Basicly every major key player in the Amiga market was *at that time* cooperating with Amiga Inc. in one way or another. Amiga Inc. spent their first 9 months in business on doing nothing but negotiating for the sake of unity. It's just a sad fact that one of the negotiating partners thought they had it all, both OS and hardware, and therefore expected everyone else to give in to their every demands. bPlan officials even said it in public; the others had nothing to offer besides "the name". In other words, unity was not very high on bPlan's priority list. It was more important for them to remain in control of what they that was rightfully theirs rather than trying to rebuild the Amiga as a market and community again.
My response is; fine, let them have it their way. However, I find it highly offensive when they call themselves a part of the Amiga market and community. I will laugh the day the Amiga market is able to provide the community with what they thought we couldn't manage without. In the mean time, these people continue to show their inability to cooperate with their own chipset providers and make highöy questionable statements in public. All they got to show is complience with Motorola's and IBM's criterias for supported hardware solutions, which is just empty PR according to BBRV's own reasoning in response to Amiga Inc.'s distribution deal with Microsoft.
>They got the OS and started developing it as they should...
Yes, since nobody else did...
>Without Amiga Inc. messing with the development.
That depends on how you define "messing", but atleast I can tell you that the AmigaOS4.0 feature set has been made in collaboration with Amiga Inc. and it would be incorrect to claim that Amiga Inc. wouldn't have a say in this.
>That's what could and SHOULD be done with MorphOS but Amiga Inc wanted to
>interfere.
By your own reasoning, why should Amiga Inc. simply give away the IP that cost them close to $5 million to another company and let them decide everything about the products associated with it? Not very reasonable, now is it?
>Who else? On the AmigaOS front, NOBODY else is on development ties
>with Amiga Inc...
And who do we got to thank for that? |
