If Genesi owned the rights to Amiga IP

[z5]

I never thought i would say this, but i wouldn't mind them having the IP, IF they let the work on OS4 continue (which i doubt very much as it is in direct competition with MorphOs).

I don't like Bill Buck but then i may not like the boss of the company where i bought my fridge, my television, my bike, my car and all the rest that i ever bought.

@hooligan:

Who have attacked Hypersion or Eyetech from MorphOS users? I know no-one, and that includes myself. What you said yourself, only proofs that Amiga Inc. have made even the involved companies look bad.

This is a big statement you are making there. Just dig up some of the discussions here and on ANN. The mud throwing between the two parties has been so big that i somehow feel that you forgot reality there for a moment. And yes, i mean between morphos and hyperion/eyetech.

@EntilZha

Yeah, did that, and have been accused of faking them.

Whatever you do, you will always be accused of something by someone... That is the amiga community. This is nothing you should care about.

However, while i appreciate that Hyperion is a small company with limited resources, isn't there anything possible to keep us positive while waiting? I've believed in the project all along but IT is difficult sometimes to stay positive when no info is released and the small info that is released, seems to be for those who have paid for it (for which i don't blame Hyperion).

I'll ask in a different way. Do you, as a company, find it important what people think about your product. Isn't there some small things you could do to create a bit of prerelease 'hype' (big word here ;-) ). Some claim that OS4 is far away, some say it is very close. So it is kind of hard to know exactly what is going on. Wouldn't somebody expect some activity starting to appear concerning marketing IF it is close away?

@Hooligan:

Are you sure they are all MorphOS "fans" (if somebody wants to call them so

Oh yes, i'm sure. And that really is the part that i never understood about MorphOs / Pegasos users. You should all be the happiest people because you have the platform you wanted in your hands, you can use it, there should be a lot of activity going on in forums, there is always the pleasure of new and better MorphOs versions (1.3 allready), new programs coming out, the Pegasos 2 coming...

So why bother about AmigaInc, OS4 or anything like that? Why spend so much negative energy towards nothing that should interest you anymore (speaking in terms of users that aren't interested in OS4).

THAT is the thing that always puzzled me... For Genesi, it's obvious why, because they want the Amiga name, but for the users...

@hooligan:

1) I am part of Amiga community, like it or not.

Actually, i wasn't referring to you at all. ;-)

2) Forums would be very boring if everybody would just think the same about everything

Agreed, but i don't find them that interesting at the moment either.

And I doubt there is a person NOT interested in OS4

That certainly is not the impression i get from a lot of MorphOs users.

Anyway, i'm kind of in between. I really do believe in OS4 but maybe i will buy MorphOs / Pegasos when it is in a more finished state.

I wonder if the two platforms can live together...
