Is Hyperion the new Amiga Inc.?

[Piru]

IMHO thats the only way forward for Amiga, respect, a bit of loyalty, and some real community spirit.

Declaring the competing projects illegal is a curious way to gather community spirit.

and



CUSA is receiving similar threats now. Sounds like a typical MO for Hyperion.

So sorry but I can't feel warn & fuzzy about Hyperion.

Sometimes what is said in public is not reflective of the private reality. Your post would indicate a somewhat negative spin on Hyperion and AHT relations, no?
Are you dead certain such a negative relationship exists or existed?

It was posted in court documents so it is real Mr. Evert quote (his Sep 25 2005 reply to Bill McEwen of Amiga Inc). While it may suggest some strain in some relations (irrelevant) it does quite explicitly point out that Hyperion considers AROS illegal.

I'm well aware of what you are pointing to here, but are others going to understand you are referring to management and not to those hobbyists who make a choice to use a particular operating system?

If they fail to see that then there's little I can do to help them.

I have been in contact with Evert after this about AROS. I can't provide details but I am not worried about legality of AROS.

AROS or MorphOS have nothing to fear legally. Hyperion's empty threats were called years ago already.

I have to agree though that such tactics indeed remind me of Amiga, Inc.

hopefully bring us the best ppc amiga you can buy and I really wish there was a way to to get MorpthOS and Aros on the machine so we could finally have a all in one Amiga to support

That's not going to happen. In order for someone to write support for some particular HW it needs to be available and reasonably priced. X1000 just doesn't qualify.
