Generally speaking, to speak bad about your competitors is probably the worst thing you could do. It's so much better to focus on your own strenghts than on your competitors weakneses. There are numorous examples of this, both in business and in politics. If there is the slightest possibility/risc that what you are saying may be quoted in public, follow this rule. Even if the privacy is tight, follow it anyway!


I must agree there 100%. And i have always wondered why MorphOS/Genesi ppl NEVER focus on their own strenghts. The only thing they do is try to ridicule the competition and the people interested in the competing product, even personally insulting them.

Frankly, i don't get this attitude. I really don't. Could it be that MorphOS really still is that weak that there is not much to boast about? Certainly seems that way if you look at what Genesi, BBRV and employees are doing.

With a different approach, i believe that they would have attracted a LOT more amiga users than they have now. In fact, this approach from BBRV and employees really is doing more damage than good. I hope they will realise that some day. And it definately is holding me back from buying what seems to be a very decent AmigaOS alternative.

OK, I am biting your bate, I am falling into the trap!


It was not meant as flame bate. The negativity surrounding Genesi and some very vocal employees and supporters is tempering my enthusiasm to buy one. That's how i feel about it.

But if you think that comments like those from "Eva" do the morphOS platform any good, than...

And indeed, maybe you are right. They still may feel themselves to be the underdog. That's just what i was trying to say. But why do they still need to?

You know very well nobody likes her style and continuos bitching. Nobody


That's why i didn't understand why Takemyhomegrandma mentioned her as the example. It really is the worst publicity one can have. And yes, even in such a small market, publicity is important.

Anyway, shouldn't mix in such useless discussions. Personally, i think that even one demo from Ephidrena or TBL or any other group will convince more than any of the useless bitching from the past years together.

You've got your platform. Well, bring it forward in  a positive way. Not by "accidentally" commenting as an employee on a competitor product.
