But as you know, it isn't just Hyperion. MorphOS appears to be much in the same boat. To me, it's another example of the so-called Amiga curse. What made the Amiga such a great piece of hardware was the drive to get it right, which ran them 7 million over budget and eventually into the arms of Commodore. Now we got both professional Amiga camps demonstrating that same stubbornness... but how they arrive at the conclusion that PPC is the right course is, in fact, a mystery to me.
You're right, of course, the best business plan is the one that earns them the most money. But they remind me of someone trying to sell top-quality lemonade for 500$ a glass and is left wondering why no one is enjoying the drink.
