I suggest you just get AmigaOS3.2 while you can if it's of interest to you for there is no knowing how this will all end up or if anyone will be left standing! It might all be open sourced by default if Cloanto win because there won't be any money left and the Amiga parties will all be skint!

Good, there are quite a few “enhancements” I wish to roll back to pre 3.2 release versions.

Just buy OS3.1 or Cloanto's OS3.X then if you want it all minimalist. Are the bug fixes without the enhancements worth the time to manually install OS3.2 the way you like it?

I personally don't know what all the fuss is about other than the new ROMs and the ease of new install without as many patches. But since I endured getting my OS3.9 systems stable I don't see the need to mess them up! I am still wary about Boing Bags 3 & 4 though they are probably fine. It's nice when someone like H&P has officially signed off on the updates even though it's the same developers doing the work in either an official or unofficial capacity!

For the love of god do I really need to stop buying from amigakit now as well. What a bunch of twats. I have already stopped buying from hyperion and Cloanto until they sort there shit out. Life in Vampire land is simple with no bullshit copyright crap

That is horrific news! So are all Amiga parties tooling up on IP litigation for the final battle of armageddon or something?

@Matthew
You should be enjoying Wales progressing in the Euros not suing valued members of the community in an area of business unrelated to your core business! Have you learnt nothing from Hyperion alienating the community. They may have won the AmigaOS license but they've lost the hearts and minds of the Amiga faithful! Do you feel lucky carrying on down this path?

You know you're not wanted! We are a peaceful bunch of retro users who just want to read a magazine and buy a 9-pin joystick switcher with CD32 compatibility (still waiting for the boards to be populated). But instead you're getting paid for sucking the blood out of a hobby/cottage industry that doesn't have the money to spare. Leave Amiga Addict alone and stop giving bad council to a company that can ill afford to alienate its customer base in this way!

... unless I am speaking to Ben in which case; I completely understand! You are just trying to take every single last Amiga entity down with you! You're nearly there brother, just keep pulling that thread!

So legal threats are now a standard mechanism in Amiga-land!

“AeonKit” showing their true colors!

And they don’t even own Amiga, yet they act like it’s theirs! Gradually they have imitated the aesthetics of logotypes, traditional Amiga model numbers, they have registered intrusive domains and trademarks in various outskirt jurisdictions. And this is what it boils down to. Parasites!

Huh, who said anything about minimalist.

What I'm saying is that there are quite a few details of OS 3.2 I don't like. Such as someone else than ThoR now messing with Amiga shell code (I very much preferred it when he just released Shell updates to Aminet every now and then). Such as various "enhancements" in the Workbench menu layout.

Quote:

Yes, of course it is. And many of the OS3.2 improvements are good - Workbench redraws are reduced, tab-completion finally coming to the shell. And on 68000 too.

Yes of course...except that on Saturday that journey is probably over...in walks THE DANES!!

And regarding Amigakit acting stupidly, please forgive them - they have done SO MUCH GOOD for this platform, and have been navigating among sharks and predators for years. Sometimes that change a person to being a shark himself. I'm sure they will stop that bullying behaviour, and apologise.

it is annoying the ip holders either want a cut or to not allow community founded project to push / help the market. I seen many companies do this.

Amigakit actually have brought some product to market and supported some areas of the market, but I felt the whole A1200TM / A500TM was handled poorly I hope this is not going to be another repeat of this.

I just glad that the community has got things like Aros to get around things like this. Plus fans are starting to be not to fused about the brand being attached, Vampire is a perfect example of this.

Not to defend AmigaKit per se, but if Amiga Addict wants to have a trademark, perhaps they should know which rules they play by?

I found this after a -quick google-:
Pdf from a patent company, franksco.com

Quote:

If the trade marks registry consider that your mark is similar to an existing registered trade mark, they will automatically send a copy of your application to the owner of that existing registered trade mark. … A notice of threatened opposition is not a formal opposition to your registration, but it is an indication that someone may file an opposition before the end of the extended 3 month opposition period. It gives the interested third party more time to prepare their opposition. Sometimes, but not always, you may receive a letter from the third party or their legal representative asking you to withdraw your trade mark application, or asking you to limit the goods or services of your application. Receiving such a letter does not commence any formal opposition proceedings at the trade marks registry. Only when a third party files an actual opposition (usually on form TM7) and pays the opposition fee is a formal opposition commenced.

In what way, shape, or form would 'Amiga Addict' magazine confuse people with AmigaKit, Ltd., a reseller?! That TM7 form is indeed a formal notice, and Matthew should have it withdrawn. Now. Today. Immediately. And issue a groveling apology for overreach on his part.

This is just one instance of a long line of heavy-handed actions trying to extend control over as much of the commercial Amiga space is as legally allowed (or that can be gotten away with). The reaction to this is nearly unanimous, and the bullying must stop forthwith. I guarantee Amiga Addict will pick up more subscribers and Matthew will lose customers. For me it really opened my eyes.

Not being a lawyer, but they way I understood it, is that this just buys AmigaKit time to look things over.
I mean, in theory, Amiga Addict could have more elaborate plans for their trademark application. Why do they feel a need to have a trademark in the UK, when they cannot understand AmigaKit trying to protect theirs?

Actually, /conspiration mode/, Amiga Addict could very well have this grand master plan to file for a trademark, talk about how bad AmigaKit dealt with it, and then once they get their trademark, start becoming a reseller. “Come buy from Amiga Addict and not evil AmigaKit!”

Weirder things have happened in the amiga world.

/conspiration mode off/
