I've been a registered AmigaDE developer for years, and now Amiga Inc drop this bomb on us? They've been _promising_ us that our developement efforts would be put forth in AmigaOS! they've been promising us this for years! There was 3000 of us at one point, and you've just alienated ALL of us! We've worked for NOTHING. LIARS! You've screwed us ALL over. Again!!

AmigaOS and DE integration CANCELLED? : Comment 24 of 93 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Joe "Floid" Kanowitz on 22-Mar-2004 11:09 GMT | The only thing this really hurts, aside from the theoretical future of the platform(s), is our chance to get combined billing on DE/AA and 4 if both actually continue to make progress.* Not like anyone was breaking even as it was, though.
If everyone survives, it'd be nice if AI and KMOS (or is it A1P, new twist?) could someday enter into some sort of 'technology sharing' arrangement to satisfy the original plan, but someone still has to pay the piper (Tao), and now that 4 is conclusively its own business, there's little motivation to push developers off the native API, and even less to reimplement components to depend on another company's software. (Of course, AI had the same problem with their plan, but also claimed the gumption to see it through to produce the more-marketable wunderOS.)
--
*This was somewhat of the necessary step to get DE/AA out from under the NDAfuscation and into the world as an environment people would have at hand whenever inspiration struck, but the bundling could still occur at the dealer level, if AI ever produces a product to do so with. |
