Amiga vs Thendic Update: Amiga is Back! : Comment 13 of 129 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Darrin on 16-Mar-2004 06:47 GMT | In reply to Comment 9 (Lando): As you seem to have pretty well demonstrated your failure to grasp the situation, please allow me to comment...
>Once again, we have to rely on court documents to find out facts regarding
>the state of Amiga Inc and AmigaOS.
You expected Amiga Inc to "show their hand" is a high stakes poker game? Also remember that as we're not shareholders in Amiga Inc we have no right to information regarding the state of the company. Do you check on the "state" of Walmart before you shop there? Also, we've always known the state of the AMiga OS - it's being developed by Hyperion to run on hardware from Eyetech. I thought everybody knew that.
>Itec LLC acquired all rights and ownership of AmigaOS from Amiga Inc back in
>April 2003, when Amiga Inc was already deep into their financial
>difficulties.
And Amiga Inc stated waaaaaay before then that they were interested in DE rather than continuing the Amiga OS and have simply passed it on to people wishing to license/pay for the right to own/produce it.
> KMOS then bought AmigaOS from Itec in October last year. AmigaOS has changed
> hands twice in the last year and this is the first we hear about it. Asset
>stripping?
Care to explain how this is "asset stripping" rather than "business"?
>Didn't the 3.5 and 3.9 source code belong to Haage & Partner?
Does it? Why do they owe Amiga Inc money for selling OS3.5 and OS3.9 (and Amithlon) if they "own" it? ;-)
>"Amiga has no right under it's license agreement with Tao to transfer Intent
>to any third party" So what were they doing signing that license agreement
>with Thendic?
They were attemping to license their AmigaDE product to ship with and run on Thendic's Smartboy. This has nothing to do with the "transfer of Intent". Do you actaully understand what AmigaDE is?
>Anyway, it looks like Amiga Inc is finally gone.
Errr... nope, they're still there. Check the court documents if you don't believe me. Better yet, recheck exactly what Amiga Inc have "sold", "licensed" and still "own". I don't see Amiga Inc going anywhere.
>No more CAM, no more Ask Fleecy, no more AmigaOS.
Wishfull thinking. Who have you been listening to?
> There really is nothing left now.
Nothing for some people :-)
>"Amiga is back!"? What planet are you living on?
Earth. How's Pluto these days? ;-) |
