Amiga.org Interview : Bill Buck and Raquel Velasco (6/30/03)

[uncharted]

Heh All the comments I expected from the people I expected them from.  You guys should really change the track every now and then.

Is it me or was there a lot more on the Ben Herman's intereview?  There just doesn't seem to be much here at all (including a couple of one word answers).  Seeing as it took ages for the interview to happen I'm very disapointed.

I'm also a bit dissapointed that some of the better questions weren't answered, like my question about organised posting, still I was expecting it to be ignored, and I suppose my employee question was answered very consisely.

Thanks to Kees for doing the interview and hopefully future interviews will be a bit better.

@BBRV

Seeing as you kindly offered here are my original questions again (Q2. has already been answered)

1. You announced that you were working on a Superbundle with various authors.  Are you worried at all that this might impact the small market sales negatively?

2. How many employees does Genesi have working towards MOS/Pegasos?

3. Would you support AOS 4 in the same way as you do other OSes (Like AROS)?

*Controversy Alert!!!!! (Mods edit if you wish)*

4. In your emails with SamFace (as seen on ANN) you mention something at the end about many people posting on certain forums on certain threads.  This could be taken that there is some kind of organised posting on forums.  Is this the case or is there another explaination?

Care to elaborate on how you know what Amiga Incs. plans for the future are??   Do you have inside info?  If not, don't speculate.

He is talking about the change of policy towards OS 4.  Back in 2000 Amiga Inc. considered the classic OS line dead and obsolete and DE was the way of the future.

Then in 2001 there was a U turn and OS4 suddenly became central to the plans as they couldn't turn DE into a desktop OS as they had planned.  OS 4 has never been a in-house project at Amiga Inc. and was never planned as a future path.

This is all very well documented.
