If AI can deliver an OS without the usual drama I will buy it.

If not then I'll be back to Vista waiting for Aros to get better.

You need to change your record. The old one is broken and plays the same tune. Excuses you provide in the name of AI are so weak they fall when I stare at them.

So, you run a software company? So do I. So, you fail sometimes to deliver on time? So do I. So, I guess, reading your posting about AI your excuse for failing would be 'my dog eat my server', right? Because it's not. I try to be as frank with customer as I can.

"We had problems with servers and had put some efforts there, hence we need week/month more"

"We underestimated difficulty and we want to do this-and-that"

I write in most of my contracts that failing on my part without providing reasons that are understandable by customer are going to eat X% per day from a contract. And customers DO love it. And they hardly have to use it against us.

Now, where's the honesty of AI? And with things like: offices in NY, coupons, Peck's salary, I'm CEO/I'm not a CEO, 'This is not Amiga you're looking for' mind tricks, Kent sport area, re branded TAO, you think ANYONE in right state of mind should take people from AI on face value? You GOT to be kidding me!

Bill's personal problems? Well, brown matter happens, this is life! Ever heard about separating personal life from business life? And if personal life clouds your work, quit work and resolve your issues. Don't play it as 'out of the jail' card. It won't stand in front of customer. Adam did it. I hate when people do it.

If I had such bad records as AI has in both community and IT world (try to mention Amiga outside of nostalgic I-used-to-play-this-game-eh! terms on Slashdot) I would:

a) STFU

b) wrote some software, or at least lay foundation for ie. OS5

c) got blog and went frontal about development. From technical details to daily-with-the-coffee postings about stuff you talked in cafeteria with other employees

"Putting last fixes in announcement" and excuses by linner won't do it. Almost every situation is fixable. But as time passes by, it's getting harder and harder to resolve issues from the past.

OS5 allows telepathic access to the internet and gives the user command of the undead.

I'm sorry but at least as of the last beta, AI's all new technology module Necromancer was working so poorly, no one who is serious about controlling undead would use it. You would be much better off running Leveau 1.5 (soon to be 2.0) from Nova Design or convincing Bernie to port the Open Source "WakeDead" to the amiga.

It may be that Amiga Inc is working hard but keeping projects under tight wraps, by never releasing any information, only works for companies that have a good track record for producing quality products. Amiga Inc no longer has that track record so keeping the behind the scenes activity of the companies’ projects only serves to make people suspicious. Amiga Inc is in a position where they need to provide solid proof that they are working on something otherwise people will continue to call them liars and laugh at their claims.

It's first now Amiga Inc have money and it's first now Amiga Inc can put SW and HW on the market.

And you believe Amiga Inc. now have money because why? Because Bill says they do?

Quote:

But I now, Amiga Inc do'it this time! Why? Becuse Amiga Inc's owner have lot of money.

You seem to be under the impression that AInc. has a new owner. Could you tell us who the old owner was, who the new one is, and when the new one took over?

Quote:

To understand what happening from now You must cut of the old time and think Amiga Inc is a new company from 2006.

Why is that? How is Ainc. suddenly a "new company"?

As jorkany points out we don't know of any ownership changes at that time. So I think you are operating from some mistaken information. Probably answering each of jorkany's questions will be a good start to trying to understand why you keep talking about this "new Amiga as of 2006". (Maybe you know something we don't, which if you have new insight thats great). BTW they got a huge infusion of cash back in 2005 from Prokom Software SA, and now we are approaching 2008.

As far as 2006, fine, lets examine 2006 and into 2007.

Kent Events Center arena deal - Failed, negative press generated in mainstream major newspaper and regional business journal as well as local paper.
New ACK Amigas this Summer press releases - Failed. Which was a major blow to relations with the community.
Any type of settlement with Hyperion - So far no success (into late 2007 now). Further concerns in the community that the developers appear to be siding with Hyperion.
Press Relations in general - So far mostly ridicule over far reaching statements about OS5

The new Amigas were not the first big step eh? I guess not because then you need to admit that we still have only talk and no action.

Lets compare this to other Amiga related highlights for 2006/2007:

AROS becomes first 64bit Amiga OS
MorphOS 2.0 beta shown to public on newly available Efika hardware
Genesi creates Efika and Efika2 and brings them to market
Hyperion strikes deal with new hardware vendor, Acube.
Acube successfully has their AmigaOne processor repair/upgrade business working.
Acube releases SAM, for which Hyperion wishes to port AOS 4.0 to it and Acube wishes this to be done as well.
ACK repairs and returns 2 out of 3 outstanding repair orders.
Continued improvements in Amiga classic emulation products.
Troels organizes a large enough bounty for a Sputnik web browser port to AOS 4.0.
DiscreetFX further large donations to bounties confirmed.

Meanwhile Amiga has arranged for porting extremely old games to WinXP and released them for purchase.

I dont think that this guy called bill mcewen is trying to develop something to the scene.. all he's doing is ruining what is left from the Amiga name ...

soon ppl will just ignore everything related to this brand!!!!
even if someone somehow gets the name and comes up with some real stuff
ppll will ignore it.!

I understand what you are saying, but it highlights the PR position AI in right now. They are damned if they do, damned if they don’t.
All I’m saying is that, regardless to the reasons why, AI has for many years been a company of all talk and no action. From the outside, all one can see is a company rotting away in stagnation while the rest of the world passes them by. This situation can only be fixed by AI releasing a product that the community views with value.
