Operating System [1]: Acorn wrote off RISC OS back in 1995 (allegedly) [2]

history [3]
Alex Singelton has published an article on his website about how Acorn Computers Ltd. were thinking of finishing producing all RISC OS [4] products three years before Black Wednesday when Acorn Computers Ltd. ceased production of their hardware and software.

Firstly there seems to be a mistake in the article:

"On 12 February 2006, Acorn and Apple issued a joint press release announcing the formation of a new jointly-owned company (later christened Xemplar) which would sell Apple and Acorn computers to schools."

The year of 2006 is clearly incorrect.

It seems Alex is a little too negative towards RISC OS lately in my opinion (why has he now chosen to publish such an article?). He's recently posted suggestions on newsgroups which I read as "if we want RISC OS to survive, then we should all go and use it on PCs". Ultimately, I see that as leading to more and more people opting not to bother starting up the Virtual Risc PC at all.

That is not to say that I don't think Virtual Risc PC is a great product, it is - and certainly has a place (yes I use it), but I'm still an advocate of Native RISC OS hardware for some thngs despite the expense. I'm not unrealistic about the state of the RISC OS market, but I do feel there is far too much doom and gloom spreading by people, which negatively influences others.

I don't expect to see anything on the hardware front from Castle to better the Iyonix, but the A9Home is still yet to reveal its full potential and maybe there is some other potential manufacturer waiting in the wings whom could license RISC OS SIX for a new desktop computer.
