Genesi: More Details about STBs, Pegasos I, and OS4

[Mikey_C]

I'd have to agree with the sentiments posted here as well. IMHO, The Posting by BBRV is way OTT. It has gotten personal and that is not good Business  practice. :-(

As to BBRV's point about Pirating OS4, Who is going to Hack and Pirate OS4? Who would benefit most from OS4 being hacked and pirated?

The Dongle is a good thing, It means that  Hyperion will maximise the amount they get back in profits from sales for all their hard work - something, I am sure, most here do not begrudge them. Yes, I appreciate that some lowlife is going to hack the dongle protection, but it will cut down on the casual pirate.

I don't care whether Ben is a Lawyer or a Legal Clerk, what gets me is the Audacity of BBRV to even go around making enquiries. I have met Bill Buck at WOASE and he was pleasent to me, but obviously the man has many faces.

I have met Ben Harmens and spoken to him on several occasions. With Ben what you see is what you get, a pleasent, genuine guy who tells it to you straight and Loves the Amiga.

Go get 'em  Hyperion!

You don't have to justify yourself Ben.

It's really not worth it, Genesi and Co.  must be desperate to resort to such a low.

Anyhow, why do they want AOS4 on the Pegasos so badly? Isn't MorphOS supposed to be better than Amiga OS4?

Ignore them and they'll eventually get bored and go elsewhere.

"P.S. As we have said many times, eventually if there is an OS4 it WILL one day run perfectly on the Pegasos without a dongle. BUT, we won't do that and will not need to support the effort, one of you smart gals or guys will sort this out. Of course, you could start discussing this on ... "

If this is not condoning the piracy or at least encouraging the piracy of OS4, I don't know what is.

 

My point exactly, Genesi want to get OS4 for the Pegasos throughg fair means or foul.  They are not going to get it through Fair means......

I`m really quite disgusted at that comment. :-(

Slim Jim.

A well reasoned out and very articulated post if I may say.

I would also add that I agree with nearly all of the points you make apart from the OS4 hacking business. To me it comes across as if people are being encorouged to break the dongle protection in order for OS4 to run on the Pegasos.

If that remark had been posted by anyone else, fair enough, but when it comes from the main rival to OS4......
