well despite this reaction from Amiga.inc I still believe what bbrv have said, the situation makes more sense from their end.

Ray is in my opinion a devious character by all accounts, devious beyond corporate or 'non-personal' level... I dont trus thim at all... not even a little...

@DaveP

so what do you suggest? we just forget all that we've heard about Amiga.inc and give them the credit we would any other company???... that sounds a bit insane comming from you of all people who professes to be soundly grounded in 'logic' and 'moderation' and whatnot... how can you expect people to ignore and stop referring to past events?... thats part of life... you're judged by your record...

if the soda tastes like poisen its probably poisen and if it  continues to taste like it... stop drinking it, stop buying it, and warn others about it!

thats a good metaphor for this current situation.

@All

the biggest fault with this update is 'why now?" if Bill could have posted updates and is indeed in contact with all etc etc etc... why hasnt he been making updates regulerly? why havent we heard more about others things?... I dont trust it one bit....

the sad thing that NOBODY seems to realise on the red side is that by getting AmigaDE on Pegasos/MOS it makes the Peg/MOS actually a gainful product for Amiga.inc, they would make money from AmigaDE sales to Peg/MOS users, I dont see where the anger against it comes from. It seems childish and backward minded.

my below sarcastic opinonated rant is here to show the mind of a true red zealot... :)

no KennyR your wrong!, we're supposed to  ignore all we've seen and follow Amiga.inc down the gutter as far as the swill stream goes and if we dont like it and we decide to go the alternate route we're a bunch of 'blind zombies' and emulator people are 'killing amiga' and amithlon was 'against amiga values' ... the name 'Amiga' matters above all else aswell as a little checkerball... if we dont see that we're idiots! the name matters above all else! the name!...its not hipocritical to expect everyone to follow amiga.inc !!!! ... your bieng a troll! stop spreading FUD... go buy coupons!!!... blah blah blah... mass exodus from this site!!!.... its to 'moderate' for any TRUE amigans leanings! moderate = pro-genesi  ... genesi=baddies, fud spreaders, anti-amiga!
blah blah blah...

EDIT: On Schedule and Rockin!!!!  :-D  :-D  :-D

this is 'Amiga.org' not 'AmigaName.org" .... Amiga covers the whole genre of 'Amiga' ... MOS/UAE/Amithlon/etc 'Amiga Compatible OS's" sure they have their dedicated sites but this place is kind of the 'mixing ground' for it all... if you think this site should censor out news/etc of everything else then maybe you need to question yourself... this site has been and probably always will be... the 'middle ground' of the community.... you want to close your eyes/ears and live in fantasyland? go to a pro-Amiga.inc only site... and stop bugging other people about how we're all wrong for not likeing their solutions or choosing another one.  this is 2003 a classic Amiga isnt cutting it, alot of people emulate and some even look for other solutions the ones that exist i.e MorphOS/Pegasos

@K

what your saying would be alright if Amiga.inc where an actual company that had been around since this site has been around...but this site was around long before them. They may own the trademark but this wasnt a squatter job, this site they have no claim on... this site has been a community portal for ages...and with any luck it will be for ages...

If the governments/etc let flash in the pan companies have the right to

1:find successful website

2:register name and spend 500 getting .inc with it

3:go take website

things would not be good... wich is why this site still stands...this site is for the 'AMIGA COMMUNITY" not for 'Amiga.inc' ... get that through your head... its been here before Amiga.inc it'll be here after...and if Amiga.inc wanted this site they could just buy it...after all as the Amiga.inc supports say 'things are on schedule and rockin' ...what was the going rate for this site? 20K?...thats a drop in the bucket to a  'rockin' company...
