[News] IOSPIRIT freezes its own AMIGA-developments | ANN.lu |
Posted on 08-Mar-2004 11:53 GMT by Felix Schwarz | 69 comments View flat View list |
Felix Schwarz, with immediate effect, freezes the development of
fxPAINT, fxSCAN, VHI Studio and the IOUSB- and VHI-drivers. Medusa and
IBrowse are external developments and thus are not affected.
All products will stay in distribution. Whether the development will
be reactivated at a later point in time mainly depends on the further
economical and social development of the market and the profits made
with it.
The AMIGA-pages can be found at http://amiga.iospirit.de/ in the
future. Although www.iospirit.de currently still redirects to this
page, we nonetheless would be glad if existing hyperlinks in
AMIGA-context would be adapted accordingly.
Subsequently, you'll find an open letter from Felix Schwarz to the
AMIGA-community in all its occurences.

IOSPIRIT freezes its own AMIGA-developments : Comment 20 of 69 | ANN.lu |
Posted by ilwrath on 08-Mar-2004 16:06 GMT | In reply to Comment 15 (Anonymous): > Are you also prepared to pay significantly more with your demands about
> service contracts ?
Very true, Anonymous. Most service contracts cost a lot more than say, fxPaint. It isn't uncommon for my small clients to pay 4 or 5 figures for a contract. Corporate customers foot service contract bills of 6, 7, or more figures, sometimes. Money-wise, unsupported software is cheap in comparison. The COST isn't the problem. It's the VALUE. What do you REALLY get for your money? If you have no updates or fixes, you're left with a bunch of bits that may or may not do anything at all, with no hope of future USE, let alone improvement.
Though, I apologize for derailing this discussion. It IS truly a shame that IOSPIRIT has to leave the Amiga platform. From everything I've seen and heard, they tried their best to be among the few "good guys" in the market. |
