To be perfectly honest, I'm a bit dissapointed... I was expecting some massive climax... you know like you get in Perry Mason...

but no, no fireworks, no gun battles... just the damp squib of McEwans dreams of being a dotcom millionare fizzing out into the nothingness...

I might have to start watching soap operas now :-(

The fuss is about Buck throwing *UD (Mud and FUD) again.
Nothing really happening. His claims are pointless.

His point is of course that he tries to make potential OS 4
buyers unsure.

Unsure about what? He has made it very clear that he has no intention of stopping development, and is even perpared to reduce the licence fee that Hyperion whould have to pay for the Amiga name.

You are just spreading FUD about Bill Buck :-P

Ambigous statements about the outcome from the case, or "The Hyperion/Eyetech OS 4.0 Agreement will be declared  "null and void and of no force or effect." " ring a bell?



Do you think the exclusive OS4 on AmigaONE deal is actually good for anyone other than Eyetech?

How can extending OS4's supported platforms cause potential buyers of OS4 to be unsure?

I do think ideas like AROS are really interesting (and bloodline didn't pay me to say this) :roflmao:


I'm sure we can work out some sort of payment! :-D

@IonDeluxe

You've missed the point somewhat... if you read around I'm sure that will help.


The way the world should work is stupid... when your washing machine breaks down, the manufacturer doesn't say, "it should work", and then ignore you... no they they take note of the fact that is doesn't work and do something about it...

Beagle 2? no problem at all, it should work... therefore it does. :-D


And don't try and pull the Moral story... theer is only one truely moral person on this board and that is "That_punk_guy" and I'm sure even he has been immorral on occation.

This proposed action directly affects the 1000+ people that have already purchased an AmigaOne, they will be denied AOS4 if Bill Bucks plan comes to pass.
Will he offer them a replacement system that does run OS4? I severely doubt it, nor could he supply them with those machines in the current situation I believe.
 


You have got to be kidding, right?

I have no love of Mr Buck, but he has demonstrated a clear willingness to treat his customers fairly. Amiga Inc. have not, I have been ripped off. I have had my own personal dreams crushed by the pathetic individuals called McEwan and Fleecy. They have done nothing to help anyone, not even thomeselves.

You are living in dream world. Wake up!
