A-EON Technology and ACube Systems strengthen strategic alliance

Pretty big scumbag move on the Minimig credits thing.  I'll take my business elsewhere as a whole from such companies in the future.  Taking glad-handing credit for open source projects is the lowest of the low, even if said company did make improvements and bring it to a larger market.

Are you always this cheerful?

Commercial interests glad handing and taking undue credit for open source projects generally aren't well received anywhere.

I'll give anyone the due credit for bringing such a product to a wider market at a fair price any ole day of the week, but the phrasing of the press release left a bad taste in many peoples mouths.  The original designers of the minimig worked their hindquarters off to bring the product to bear fruit and that doesn't seem to have been shown much respect.

Agreed, was just a poor choice of phrasing.  Whether that's enough to change peoples buying habits is another story.  I know where I stand on it, and it's enough for me to put the nix on my 460 mobo purchase.
