|
Mister Rene Weinert, PR Manager from Magnussoft, was so kind to give us an exclusive Interview.
On the first site of this news you will find the original german interview, on the second site you will find the englisch translation. Our User exploder and me did this translation.
Dear Mr. Weinert, please introduce yourself to our readers. | Mr. Weinert | Hello Mr Krobath. My name is René Weinert and I am employed at the company magnussoft Deutschland GmbH as a PR manager. Since our enterprise has the worldwide exclusive selling rights of yellowTAB ZETA, I also will take over the PR work for this alternative operating system. |
Magnussoft is still relatively unknown to many of our users. Please give us some information about magnussoft. | Mr. Weinert | The history of "magnussoft Deutschland GmbH" already started 1982. The main task is the production, licensing and marketing of software for the PC. Meanwhile the enterprise belongs to the most successful playing developers within Germany in the Casual and budget market. The current firm name as "magnussoft Deutschland GmbH" consists in this form since 2003. Started in the eighties as a small one meanwhile further branch offices were found in Spain and Holland. Also sales goes international ways. The products can be found international in the Benelux countries as well as Canada and the USA next to Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Distributors take over the distribution on these well-known markets partially. |
How did magnussoft get aware of yellowTABs Zeta? | Mr. Weinert | We got attentive on the OS by a support enquiry which aimed to port a game for yellowTAB ZETA. Through this the first stone came to roll into this. |
What connection is there between the company magnussoft and the company yellowTAB? | Mr. Weinert | Except for the sales partnership of the product yellowTAB ZETA there is no further connection between these two enterprises. |
Have you already tried out Zeta and what experiences have you made with it? | Mr. Weinert | I have already dealt a little bit with the system because of pure curiosity and his speed and user kindness surprises me. However, as a PR manager I prefer to leave testing and developing to the beta testers and developers. |
Could you explain the current situation around zeta a little bit? | Mr. Weinert | All new developments around magnussoft Zeta will be directly published on the new portal www.zeta-os.com. As soon as there are news about magnussoft ZETA and the environment, these will be published without delay. I can’t say more about think that are not published yet on the website. |
On www.zeta-os.com you wrote about a new developer, can you tell us more about this? | Mr. Weinert | At present, there are hearings with different developers which we deduct from other projects. Partial from our own but also of other. We should have a solid developer core unite of approx 10 specialists by the end of June. These will superficially deal with the elimination of the many small edges in yellowTAB ZETA and the drivers situated in yellowTAB ZETA. In addition, we work on really professional software for magnussoft ZETA. There already is very good software in the graphic area but an Office Package is urgently required. We have stopped the work on Open Office and we have been able to win a well-known alternate Office vendor for cooperation. |
Can you give us more information about the future Office? | Mr. Weinert | We have decided not to publish any further information about this because we don’t want to give any base for speculations. As soon as the work and porting at the product are completed, we will be able to announce more details. |
Can you give us informations about future magnussoft zeta? | Mr. Weinert | The enterprise will always confine itself to the distribution of magnussoft ZETA. We make our complete team available merely at the beginning. At present, the construction of a team under its own flag is worked on for magnussoft ZETA. Later, this shall continue the part development. From this time on magnussoft will deal with everything, except programming, the new programmer team will exclusively devote on developing. |
Does this mean that magnussoft did take over and/or continuing the development from yellowTAB? | Mr. Weinert | This is only partially correct. In any case the development of magnussoft ZETA is continued, the development, however, is not taken on by magnussoft. Our enterprise is making merely capacities available to the construction of a developer team of its own for magnussoft ZETA at the moment. As soon as this team is built and can continue its work independently, magnussoft will concentrate on the sales and tasks connected with that completely. |
Will Mr Bernd Korz take part or be involved in any way also with this new programmer team? | Mr. Weinert | We are very pleased that Mr Korz has agreed to participate in the development in a consulting function further. His experience around the development of the operating system is a great help for the complete team. |
Which innovations will there be in the "magnussoft zeta 1.2" version? | Mr. Weinert | In my opinion it make no sense to list all innovations, therefore I would like to mention only the most important changes to you. Above all we did many bugfixes especially in the expander, Yahoo Messenger and ndis. The updates of the drivers have been advanced a good piece further again. Widgets cleaning in the Deskbar and the Tracker as well as a variety of localizations have been performed. Furthermore there was quite a number of smaller fixes which makes magnussoft ZETA better. For a secondary list, however, I would like to refer also here to the new internet pages. |
Why is the first version of magnussoft zeta also called version 1.2? This is tangling a little for customers however who already have a zeta 1.2 version just from yellowTAB. | Mr. Weinert | The magnussoft zeta version planned for June is commercialized under the version number 1.21 to avoid confusion among the customers. In our opinion this solution is transparently and meaningful. Particularly the reconnaissance value and the changes can be considered. |
Can you give us information about zeta 1.3? | Mr. Weinert | Please understand that we cannot reveal all our plannings in the front-end yet the developments and version numbers unfortunately also are part of. We cannot announce further information for strategic reasons regarding this up to this year's Games Convention in Leipzig. |
Which aims does magnussoft pursue with zeta? | Mr. Weinert | magnussoft ZETA shall be perceived worldwide as an alternate operating system and reach a publicity adequate to the system. |
Would you like to inform our readers about something due to the completion of this interview? | Hr. Weinert | We are pleased about the support and the interest which the operating system is still enjoying. The great and enthusiastic community around this OS is part of the potentials of the product. For this reason we invite everybody quite hearty to present us his ideas or programs. Further information about this point is provided on the platform www.zeta-os.com. We are looking forward to the future of this operating system that will bring many positive surprises! | In the name of the complete Power Dreams team I would like to thank Mr Weinert from Magnussoft for the interview.
