I think there is a different question. If this isn´t true (and we have no evidence it could be), what is the motivation of these Moobunny guys spreading FUD like this.
Do they have stock in Genesi?
Are they just bitter people who want AEON to fail?
Or are they just lame trolls, who have given up on harvesting more popular websites?
I should have made this a poll.
Genesi? Why would they have any interest in the success or failure of AEON? They don't even have any interest in MorphOS any longer.
Bitter people? Maybe, but I would characterize them as malicious people that have nothing better to do with their free time and enjoy stirring up trouble for easy targets. AEON (& Hyperion), for whatever reasons, have left themselves open to many attacks by disbelievers because they have made so many BIG announcements of their "Most Ambitious Project", including failed delivery dates, support for dual processors/cores that was then backed away from until later, and then followed up with a lack of information regarding their beta testing program, which leads some people to wonder if any production of beta motherboards has even happened yet.
The style of their announcements to try to generate so much attention would have been okay if it had been done closer to an actual release date, but they made too much noise too far in advance and then have left the potential customers hanging for too long waiting for some real proof of production and progress on all of their claims.
Personally, I hope that all is still going forward and that they will soon break their silence and show a finished product, or at least the progress of the beta program. I want them to succeed, even if I can't afford to buy an X1000, I would like to see them make and sell as many of them as possible.
