Well, reading all the threads so far it appears that no one seems to hold anything against Hyperion and Eyetech. That's good! :-)
So best solution seems to me that the *new* management cuts the IP to AmigaOS 4 loose and let Hyperion use the name Amiga International to market OS 4. ( if anything is true from the last couple of days)
As to the proof of OS 4; it's Hyperion guys! These people deliver.
I allways compare software development with building a house. A simple small program or driver or service or whatever takes the same amount of men and time as building a normal house.
An operating system is like building a skyscraper( possibly the twin towers). And if your foundation is not right then.........
And I mean software development here. I don't mean hacking something together because that is fast and it bytes you in the back at some point.
I did my master thesis at Ericsson creating a demo of a mouse by implementing HID for Bluetooth for Windows( service and driver) and embedded.
If I see how much time is spent on just a very small thing...... They spent years developing their Bluetooth stack software and that's just Bluetooth( and there are many profiles that still need to be implemented). Also take a look at how long it took Microsoft to include Bluetooth in WinXP and how many profiles they actually did implement( not many).
So programming doesn't go fast if you want to do it right! A programmer that tells you otherwise is an idiot.
It takes time and even a demo takes time. They only get one shot and they need to do it right( like Rogue allready said).
If you consider how long they are working on it, you can't really expect them to give you a good demo. Or you're not a programmer and are talking bullocks.
