Hello xaccrocheur,
What do you think about the following sentence in that article:
"....Amiga has over 3,000 developers creating content...."
Can anyone tell more about this part.
To me I read it like mr. Bill McEwen has got so many people in his company to make stuff?! :-?
Then why not making OS4?
About Amiga Inc. and Genesi I had a discussion with a very close friend, he still has his A500 for Supercars II :-), but now he also has a pc :-( :-).
If you look at both parties involved, they both said that at this moment with only developing for the Amiga communtiy they can't sustain their companies so they have to make money doing something else (that's logical). With that money they can start making stuff for the Amiga community.
Now look what's being made by both companies for third parties.
One is making games or so for Windows devices.
The other is selling their Pegasos-hardware and software (MorphOS) as settop boxes.
Ok, the making of the software for Windows devices isn´t directly related to the software we use now, or will use when OS4 will come (hopefully soon). But in the bigger picture you should be able to use it when OS5 is finished, anyway that's what we've been told.
Well, when OS5 hits the street, no one will remember the software of now! (that's my peronal opinion).
Look what the other company is doing with third parties. They are selling the same hardware and software to third parties as to their customers (at this moment members of the Amiga community).
What's my point of view with this all?
Amiga Inc. is making stuff not directly related to and for the Amiga community of now and Genesi is doing the opposite. They made their hard- and software for this community and they are selling the same stuff to third parties. In that way they stay closer to their plan than Amiga Inc is doing.
These are my personal feelings for a long time now and I wanted it to share it with you all.
What do you all think of this what I mentioned above?
