So the World May Know: To all AmigaOne board owners : Comment 61 of 113 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Anonymous on 04-Oct-2004 07:49 GMT | In reply to Comment 54 (takemehomegrandma): > That would not be a problem at all in my humble opinion. The OS4-enabled Pegasos boards would be 100 Euros more expensive
If KMOS mandates "OS4 enabled mainboards", let them buy Pegasos boards and replace the BIOS with their dongle BIOS. I seriouly doubt that Genesi would ever enter such an insane procedure. Besides, OS4 enabled boards would be lunacy from Hyperion's POV because that would exclude 1200+ potential buyers with non-enabled board. There are smarter ideas to protect against software pircay. USB dongles, activation, whatever. Not that I'd believe for a second that the licensing scheme is about piracy. It's about money. Former Amiga Inc (and now KMOS?) want payments from hardware makers. Now that they don't get them, they find they have maneuvered themselves into an unsustainable position: Total dependency on a single hardware maker that is unable to deliver functional boards and has no means to provide decent support and repairs and upgrades. If Eyetech or MAI go down, OS4 goes down. |
