I think thats a large part of why people keep knocking them.
Once, they said all their computers would come with aros pre-installed.
Next, they trash AROS as not commercially viable.
Next they announce "commodore os" which will be ubuntu with a commodore wallpaper, but hey it takes a long time to come up with a nice commodore wallpaper, so it won't be included with our computers just yet.
There is also all the computers they announced then never delivered on.
I've counted about 6 so far that dissapeared with no further explanation after all that hype. Plus all the fake prototype pictures and so on.
They really do need to get their story straight.
If you don't want to get trashed, don't make it so easy for people to do
so. Alot of the resentment against them they generated by these things.
There is also the fact that they are doing the least work possible while expecting the most attention. Anyone can slap a sticker on an existing product, and I'd venture to say anyone with decent computer hobby skills can make their own pc in a c64 case for 1/2 the price they ask.
I think AROS/MorpOS and yes even os4 is worthy of alot more attention.
Imagine the work hours that have gone in to each project.
Also Netami, minimig and others, have all done 25X the work into their respective projects. None of these people are claiming to be the saviors of the sacred name.
