AmigaOS petition update

[zudobug]

Hi,

IMO, if Amiga Inc. relied on the community to make their decisions for them, nothing would ever get done.  Right now everyone would still be passionately arguing their conflicted opinions and refusing to hear anyone elses side.  There would be no AmigaDE and no AmigaOne/OS4 in the pipeline.  Actually, Amiga Inc. would probably of thrown in the towel by now and left us to it.

They are a small company, this is a small community.  Everyone is suffering from the same desire to see the Amiga back at the top... Especially the guys at Amiga Inc.  Let them do things the way they want, because hey, they're gonna anyway.  There simply isn't time to listen to the ranting and raving of people that hate them for having a go.  And they haven't got the funds/resources to please everyone.

Apologies to anyone who doesn't like what I've said.

Seehund,

You're right, I was generalising.  I guess it was a little unfair to post that message here as it looks like an attack on you personally, and I didn't mean that.

However, it was something I though of when reading some of the other flames and attacks (before they were edited) here.

On the subject of the petition, I haven't made a final decision one way or the other because I personally feel it is too early to tell what's really happening.  At this stage I can't see Amiga Inc.'s protection system doing too much damage.  It's probably best that the range of hardware available to OS4 is kept to a minimum to begin with anyway. By the time OS5 comes out and a realistic demand for hardware choice is there, a new approach may have to be adopted.

Thanks for your comments.  A bit of healthy criticism never does any halm and it's good to listen to (and try to respect) contrasting opinions.  And that goes for both sides. I guess that's what I've been trying to say.

All the best,
