Amiga.inc - How about it?

[Targhan]

Commodore made mistakes, sure, but they weren't *that* bad.  Escom had good ideas, but bit off more than they could chew.  Gateway were doing some good things, but were chased off of it by M$.

Hyperion is in the drivers seat of AmigaOS4.  Hyperion has a pretty good track record, so we'll have to wait and see what they do with the OS.  

To be honest, since OS4 isn't on the shelves, everything about OS4 is sort of speculative at this point.  OS5 is nothing but a pipe-dream, and MorphOS is squarely hampered by the lack of Pegasos boards.  

I would like to see both be successful.  However, if one of the two are successful (not throwing in a choice for either side, btw)--the community still wins.

Bill McEwen doesn't own Amiga Inc., some investors do.  I would suspect that Bill has other levels of seperation from Amiga should something bad happen.  I sincerely doubt that he is personally going to take a hit from any action/inaction of Amiga.

On the other side of the coin, Bill knows that if AmigaOS4 hits the shelves as a profit making product he can skim a bit more ;-)  They aren't in business to throw money in the four winds.... No matter how much it looks like such!  :huh:  :-?  :getmad:  :-?

Well, I'm not impressed with DE, as it is very limited in it's scalability, it doesn't cover enough platforms to what it was intended to do, and nothing of any value has been done with it (yet).

I believe that Amiga Inc. is hurting for money; though, I would credit that more to the deplorable state of the economy than to stupidity.
