An eight letter word (bullsh*t). It can't get any clearer that there is something that really went wrong between Amiga Inc. and Hyperion.
Well can you trust Ben sentences when you know there are problems regarding the two compagnies?
I only have some little things to add:
1. Hyperion was asked as third party to code OS4, they, as software compagny established a calendar to have OS4 out. Years after the work is still unaccomplished/unfinished.
Is it Amiga inc in fault if Hyperion isn't able to finished the work in the time they stated years ago? Meanwhile, young people created MorphOS in less time it takes to Hyperion to port existing code to PPC!!!!! So there's only two solutions if OS4 isn't out it's because Hyperion is waiting...waiting what? Or Hyperion is enough unskilled to make so many time porting an existing OS.
2. I had the chance to have an Amigaone, then entered in brief contact with Ben in order to discuss about a thing or two. One week after I sold my Amigaone, thinking 'enriching' this guy was out of my personnal goals. (Read I liked him before talking to him, I won't be able to talk to him again after having the 'chance' to understand that he don't consider as human everyone that has a different point of view than Rogue Squadron's One).
3. After having choosed to sell my micro-amigaone (that wasn't a finished machine it's the less I had to say), I had the opportunity to talk to Bill Buck. At times I hated him, based on he's sentences here and there, and the general "go away" attitude of the pro amiga community. Bill Buck isn't the person I thought, just talking to him correctly (and not as if he were a rogue) was really, really interesting at the point I now think the biggest error of Amiga Inc was to pass the OS4 work to Hyperion and not MOS team (and we don't talk at any time regarding Amiga, Amiga Inc, Hyperion and so).
5. Amiga Inc never commented publicly on Hyperion problems, that wasn't the case of Hyperion that always tend to send sentences like "bullshit" when they talk about Amiga Inc.
(I won't copy/paste the mail Rogue sent to the AmigaDE developer years ago regarding problems between Amiga and Hyperion, and that was years ago, and that wasn't to have sent to a developer mailing list since it was clear, it was 'internal mess').
6. The only way I see things improve is Hyperion starting to reduce their ego and start playing a good role...Or Hyperion closing he's doors for Amiga to choose a good third party OS4 developer or last, and probably the most possible future, OS4, Hyperion and Amiga Inc would have dig their grave.
Now I'm pretty sure 99% of you will think I troll, or things like that...Nevermind, I'm now totaly bored with Hyperion's narrow minded game and gone away, just hopping they will one day wake up admitting they are playing a deadly game!
