Mr. McEwan as astute as he may be, should take an example from other synergies between OpenSource communities and commercial companies…
In many cases the Open Source community offers instant and valuable feedback, as well as additional resources and “brain power” from people who know the product and have extensive experience using it. A good example would be Snort and Sourcefire.
McEwan’s biggest mistake is to marginalize his own power base. Without Amiga.org his job would be close to impossible in bringing Amiga back to the masses and continue to do so would be arrogance on his part.
As action speaks louder than words, the lack of both is deafening. A 25 questions “Interview” although it is a good start can’t cover for the lack of communication. You can’t gain market share and support when at the same time ignore those who wish to see that technology prevail…
Maybe I have been around the block for too long, enough to see or identify {bleep} and call it as such right when I see it. Only time would tell…
