Is Hyperion the new Amiga Inc.?

Stumbled on. I just use moobunny for whatever I want to say.

Stumbled on it on Commodore-amiga.org.
(there, I completed your sentence for you). Heh.

Declaring the competing projects illegal is a curious way to gather community spirit.

Sometimes what is said in public is not reflective of the private reality. Your post would indicate a somewhat negative spin on Hyperion and AHT relations, no?
Are you dead certain such a negative relationship exists or existed?

I'm well aware of what you are pointing to here, but are others going to understand you are referring to management and not to those hobbyists who make a choice to use a particular operating system? I would hate to see your thoughtful posts read along the lines of "guilt by association".

32 months later in December 2006, OS 4.0 final arrived.

Actually there was a "july update" from 2007, which incorporated with the December 2006 release constituted the complete "final". (for 4.0)

Could anybody make a list of a the litigations in Amiga history and count how many each of the companies have started. I think you would be amazed.

Indeed. Many filings and judgments are not publically known either. It's abominable.

Cheers. I considered that, but it appeared the final final release was December - which makes it worse in two ways - even longer to develop it, and a shorter time to 4.1 which was also paid. I'm not being easy on Hyperion here! :-)

It may seem odd to issue a "final" and then follow that with an "update". But you have to put this in perspective of what followed. (cancellation of contract).
That needed to happen sooner, as opposed to later in most people's minds, hence the odd order of release.

Now, I do understand that that was some time ago, Hermans has left (I think? Correct me if I'm wrong,) and I don't think that it's entirely reasonable to hold their past misdeeds against them indefinitely.

No. That is incorrect, unless something changed this week. heh.
