Two points:
1.) WOW!  One day, Hyperion rocks, the next day they're scum.  Middle ground, perhaps?  We all act   like we've got monthly women's problems or something!2.) The fact that the original question is pointedly NOT being answered means that there is a BIG answer coming.  It can only be one of two:

It's taking us longer than anticipated, or
Look at what we're showing at CeBIT!  What a launch surprize!

I'm not surprised. The same happened to Haage & Partner a year ago. Fanatics can raise you, and kill you in an instant. I say, I still respect Hyperion.

However, for Hyperion as amiga developers: This community comes as is, with no guarantees. It's exhausting and tiring, when those praising you one day yelling at you the other. Instead, stick to those who are less fanatic, and who are here with a bit of scepticism. They will not fail you. Will not praise you for announcements, feature lists, but will acknowledge the job you do for the platform. IMO


Praise?  Maybe not.  But I do respect Hyperion's attempt to remain communicative throughout this process far more than AmigaInc's "guess what we're doing this month" attitude (and yes, I do get the "Club Amiga" magazine, that which used to be called "Amiga World" in years past, and is still on their site, and do not find it to be all that informative, thogh some stuff in issue is at least thought worthyRogue is correct in one aspect:  They owe us nothing at this point.They certainly don't owe us weekly updates and ever-changing announcements about when the product will ship.

P.S. Rogue:  The IBrowse team suffered the same attacks just before the product shipped because of a 6 week delay for bug squashing.  The insanity an their mailing list was extraordinary.  Ignore it.  When OS4 is released, the FUD will all go away.
