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!!

Yes, of course there is something you can do. I'm sure that with a bit of research you could find Garry's email address and pm him, expressing your 'concerns'. Then you'd see this in court pretty quickly.

What do you mean, 'no'? In that case, until you do pm him, STFU.

This is one of the sillier threads I’ve read; you must not be reading the Amiga news or looking at your developer updates. Amiga DE integration with Amiga 5.x was scraped a long time ago. DE does not provide a good foundation for the OS. What wasn’t ruled out was a port of the Amiga DE (CE) player (some of the earlier Fleecy comments deal with this). The comments from KMOS do not preclude such a product.

"Fleecy: The long announced plan has always been to have AmigaDE technology running on AmigaOS4.2, the first PPC outing for the AmigaDE. This plan has not changed."

(Source: Ask Fleecy, 9 November 2003)

"I've seen reference to a new product, OS 4.2, which was defined as Amiga DE + OS 4.0. There is no such product in development or contemplated."

(Source: Garry Hare, 21 March 2004)

Seems a very clear contradiction to me.

This is one of the dumbest rants in a long time.

Look if you truly are an AmigaDE developer you realize that AmigaDE sits on top of the OS. It's on top of Linux, it's on top of Windows, and it'll be on top of MorphOS. AmigaDE for AmigaOS4.2 was likely to be on top of AmigaOS4.x not the foundation. Thus, nothing's really changed here. Thus, you can still do AmigaDE stuff today and have a myriad of users. Perhaps it will run on top of AmigaOS4.2 in the future. So, there MAY not be any AmigaDE for AmigaOS. Guess you have to chance your business plan and figure out how to make millions to AmigaDE stuff on all the other platforms out there.

Go trolling else where.

Lando,
There is a big difference between an integration of DE into 4.0 (the original concept for 5.0; most of us applauded the fact that this was dropped) and porting a DE player (like they have for Windows—see the first ask Fleecy [" We have already stated that we are targeting an AACE player for AmigaOS4.2"], but the news of this change predates that by at least a year by McEwen). We’ve been over this many times over the past few years. Future versions of the Amiga OS will not be based on DE, but a DE player port is not out of the question.

"Oh, this was IMO not a casual "change in plans", this whole scheme
must have been carefully planned over a year ago. Strip the assets in
two steps, first to one company and then to a second. So even if the
creditors would try to cancel the deal between Amiga Inc and Itec,
they would now find that the asset is out of reach because it was sold
on one further step (and everything was covered up in the dark)."

Oh, you mean like Bill Buck has been doing, taking assets from one an moving to the other and then "bankrupting" the first one? So maybe Amiga have finally learned how to play the game as well as the other side.

Were you there physically in the room with Bill McEwen when this evidence was presented? By him??

I was, in fact, sitting there next to Mr. Hughes and I saw, and read, that whole contract with my eyes, including where McE signed and/or initialled all over it. He was asked 'is this your signature?' and 'are these your initials?' Both cases his reply: 'yes.'

The contract very clearly stated a DE port was fair game for the current product OR ANY FUTURE GENESI PRODUCT. Period. There was no false evidence. So shut the hell up.

You might want to check the facts before making inaccurate comparisons. More generally, can you see what a waste of time and bandwidth it is to just say "Oh, like so-and-so is doing?" instead of responding to someone's points directly? That's your perogative, of course, but in my opinion if you want to defend Amiga, Inc. and KMOS, then offer some real defense and not just a childish "Genesi did it too". People see right through that: deflection means you have no defense.

This person is probably not a developer, although so many here seems to "trust" him.

Strange way to act on ann.lu

When I see than I am moderated when I posrt link that concerns current Genesi lawsuits (they don't have just one with Amiga Inc, but they have many different and most important one) I am moderated, and when a 14+ child post this kind of horror message he isn't.

THIS is a "defence" of NO ONE!
THIS is a "response" to gary_c!
THIS -- is me wondering whether gary_c is unable to detect BLUE MUD, although he is extremely excitable on the subject of RED MUD?

He tries (so hard) to accuse anyone who's soaked Red Dirt so much as to produce Red Mud, but fairly goes BLUE in the face at any insinuation that Any higher-up has created BLUE Mud!

I don't see it; just because it is Amiga Inc's/Fleecy's plan having running DE in AmigaOS doesn't mean it is really in development or there's a real plan at the moment to do it.
Surely Amiga Inc has other problems at the moment.

Something to bear in mind is that I'm not the only moderator, and that sometimes (given my past employment record) I may choose to have a different moderator edit/move news items so that nobody can accuse me of being biased, or of being too much in favour or too much against someone I've had previous business relations or an employment contract with.

Read into this what you want.

Fact is, at this point in time, I don't have any interest in either the "red" side of things or the "blue" side of things, and haven't used any Amiga-based or Amiga-inspired system in about four years... so I don't see how anyone could, in March 2004, still think I'm in favour of one solution or the other.

Actually, the contract talked about any future THENDIC product... Didn't Buck say that the Pegasos was developed by DCE? One of his recent morphzone posts talked about DCE developing the Zico spec and didnt' get credit or something to that effect, referring to the Pegasos. So Thendic isn't credited with Pegasos (version 1 at least) as it being their product. Pegasos II gets somewhat confusing as it's certainly developed after the DCE/Thendic/Genesi merger, I'm not sure if Pegasos 1 was before or after this, but I had the impression it was before since DCE at one point back in time was to be the second AmigaOne licensee but that deal fell apart for whatever reason.

While the "agreement" does seem to grant any successor to Thendic same rights to DE on Thendic's products that Thendic had, I wonder if that right truely is transferrable to products developed by DCE (ie, not developed by Thendic), and if "Future Genesi products" (ie. Pegasos II), qualify as "future Thendic products"...

Can anyone with more legalese knowledge comment on this? Im still trying to learn and understand the current situation rather than just blindly accept propaganda coming from either direction...

Sounds like they needed a clause in the contract regarding Transfer of Rights; and perhaps one spelling out what happens if either company is sold--whether there are re-negotiations or not, beyond the carrying out of established duties or processes.
