Pegasos sales restarting : Comment 134 of 156 | ANN.lu |
Posted by samface on 01-Feb-2004 16:25 GMT | In reply to Comment 133 (Alkis Tsapanidis): >Ehm... Remove H&P, DCE, Martin Blom, Bernie (Amiga Inc were the ones
>who told him to coop with H&P...
What part of *at that time* did you not understand?
>A decision that fucked his product)
Now let's not be too hasty on passing judgement, not even Bernie put the blame on Amiga Inc. (even if he suggested that Amiga Inc. could have done more).
>Elbox (How exactly do they cooperate wih Amiga Inc?)...
They were an official partner *at that time*.
>Messing with Development = Adding features while the feature set
>should be locked,
In that case, MorphOS should have never moved from the alpha/beta state of only running on A1200/4000 and would still be dependant on the original workbench.
>announcing stuff they have nothing to do with etc...
Huh? Of course they have everything to do with what their $5 million IP is associated with.
>They did none of these with Hyperion, thank god.
Yes they did, Hyperion would have not been selected if they were not capable of delivering certain features and the license only covers making AmigaOS4.0 for PPC.
>Nobody said that they should give away their IP. When a product is in
>late development, you cannot do the drastic changes Amiga Inc wanted.
Late development? They had a PPC OS kernel (Quark) and a 68k emulator that launched the original AmigaOS3.x ontop of the emulator. The emulator didn't even support JIT. It was in an early alpha/beta stage that was far from stable. You were saying?
>They also asked for set product releases controlled by them and
>breaking bPlan into a software and hardware company.
>Which company would accept that?
Well, why should they have let bPlan have some form of hardware and OS monopoly rather than compete on equal grounds with other Amiga hardware manufacturers such as Eyetech, DCE and Elbox? Of course it makes sense to ask bPlan to seperate the OS development from the hardware development.
>Now... Who should I thank for that? Bill and Fleecy. ANYTHING else
>is purely bullshit...
I could be throwing mud at individuals such as Bill Buck and Ralph Schmidt too, but that would just degrade myself to your level... |
