GGS:

I've been reading the posts with a grin.  You seem to buy the standard bbvr line that Amiga is not competition.   That's spin;  all companies do it (and you'll find a lot of it on Amiga's site).  

However, Genesi sees its userbase coming, for now, from Amiga and ex-Amiga users.  There is no doubt that they are trying to get the new version of their OS out before 4.0, that they've been courting Amiga developers, that they complain whenever something is released for Amiga and not Morphos.  The effect (and business objective)is to create some similitude .

Bbvr's activly attempts to bankrupt Amiga;  I don't think there is any real ambiguity there.  Irregardless of some of Amiga's miscalculations with DE(ad), I see those who cheer for another bankruptcy as being rather puerile.

I was merely reading between the lines (thus I said "seems").  You suggested that Genesi would have nothing to gain from Amiga going under.  My suggestion is that it was a line of spin on their part because, whether true or not, Genesi acts as if they do have something to gain from that.

>However thats no reason for not having a businessrelation... >or ?

I'm sure Amiga has some good reasons (obvious reasons) for not wanting DE on Genesi, and in such a market it is understandable.  In my opinion, spending any amount of time porting DE might be considered a waste of time, and while I'm sure they'll put out a 4.X version, a Morphos version would just be a further waste.  

>And some questions to you also as you make some >statements;

>1; Who is the Amiga developers that Genesi have tried to >bring to court ?

The key to that is in the word "court," as in actively trying to get them to develop products for Morphos.  Not, "take them to court!"

As far as a question of bankrupting Amiga through the courts, bbvr doesn't actually deny that it might be something of an incentive (does this contradict the above--sure it does, but one can't expect them to come out and be that blunt) .  Think back to that ANN thread a few months ago.
