The irony is, that when when anyone tries step in to try to remind people about how misplaced their trust is, they get called FUD spreaders and trolls.

However good your intentions may be, have you considered the option that these people know the same facts and came to another conclusion how unlikely that other conclusion can be in your eyes ?

I'm neithe pro Amiga Inc or Pro Genesi.. I dislike both to be honest, tho at least Bill and Rachel come in the forums, something I regret the other Bill doesn't (Fleecy seems to come sometimes tho).. Wheter IU will buy a new Amiga or a Peg.. If I could I would buy both, as of now, the BS both sides spew just don't make it worth the risk (IE will either of them be around next year)

It's a good thing to base judgement on products and service rather than what you think of a companies politics when making purchasing decisions.

I agree with this point, however, how can I expect the service to be good of a company with all this BS going around, some generated by a CEO (Or someting like that title) of one copmany while the other is.. Well.. hiding ??
How can any other copmany take either seriously ? If the current support from other parties is all there is, well, neither will survive (IMHO).. and I don't see any bigger supporters coming anytime soon, not with the current way of things.. (See below)

The majority of computer users are neither stupid nor fickle for chosing Microsoft products. They do it mainly beacause it is less trouble to go with a usable mainstream product. They do not bother about the corporate politics nor the personalities of Microsoft Corp.

Sure.. But that's indeed only because they know about it.. "Everybody" else has got one, if I buy a Windows PC now, I'm 99.99% certain it will still be supported in 3 years time..

It's getting harder and harder to know who to believe..

It's not just that I don't like the companies politics, it's the companies politics that make the future of both platforms uncertain.. I'm not going to spend 600 or more on a platform that might truly be death next summer..

For some the Amiga is a Hobby, for me, it WAS my only choice for a Computer untill the death of my A4000.. I didn't buy a new one cause a new Amiga was just around the corner and I didn't have the money to buy an A4000 and later a next gen Amiga.. I bought a second hand PC (Real cheap, but more powerfull then an A4000/060/PPC/CVPPC) and waited like so many... Only to be dragged into the FUD WARS..

As Amigans we should be used to the rollercoaster ride by now :-P  ;-)

I'm getting to old for rollercoasters... :-o  ;-)

Still, I waited for a long time.. I survived the Amiga vs Atari wars, the Amiga vs the Console wars.. I might just survive the "Fud Wars".. I guess I can wait another year to see who will survive..

The Amiga is death ! Long live its succesor !  (Be it AmigaONE/OS4, Pegasos/Morphos1/x86/AROS)
