Collas udajne chce vyuzit jmena Linux pro reklamu. Otazka je, do jaky miry
to bude Linux nebo ne. QNX rozhodne byla lepsi volba. A jestli se nepletu,
tak Collas nikdy Amigu nevidel, az kdyz ho ted zamestnali.

Zase nejaky zvasty o tom jak je Linux dobrej. Nema nic konkretniho, akorat
zase slibuje, pak ho vymeni a vsechno bude fajn.

Odpoved QNX. Ve zkratce - jsou zklamani z Collasova rozhodnuti, ale nehodlaji
delit Amiga komunitu, at si kazdy udela zaver sam. Jak Amiga, tak QNX slibili,
ze Vam dodaji technologii v blizke budoucnosti.

Mimochodem: Uz je temer hotove UAE pro QNX.....

ps  Hezka je ta narazka na Collase "...nechci po vas, aby jste mi
duverovali..." :)))
    ...I don't ask you to "trust" me...

Eight months ago we were chosen by Amiga as their foundation OS partner.
Our development
group was thrilled to be part of the rebirth of such an innovative product.
To meet the challenge
we knew it would take a tremendous effort on our part. We had a team of
people in place
working on our part of the Amiga NG soon after the alliance was announced.
Over the next few
months we involved more and more of our engineering resouces towards making
QNX an
advanced multi-media platform. Our investment so far has been significant.
These are costs we
have borne ourselves.

It is clear today from Jim's letter that we were not chosen for the next
generation Amiga.
Naturally we're disappointed. So, where do we stand now? It is not our
intent to confuse the
Amiga community. We are proud of what we have accomplished and want to
include Amigans in
what we've achieved. I did make a promise to deliver an operating system
and I intend on
keeping that promise. I don't want to split the community, nor do I wish to
engage in a war of
words. I don't ask you to "trust" me or to take me at my word. Both QNX and
Amiga have
promised to deliver technology into your hands in the very near future. I
ask only that your
assessment of QNX be based on what we do and what we deliver. 

Thanks for the overwhelming support we have received so far.
