I can't remember Eyetech's switch from Escena's non-working hardware to MAI's almost working hardware having a bad influence on OS4 or its perception. Quite to the contrary.
The Teron CX was two to three times the price of what Escena had claimed, and was full of bugs that Eyetech and Hyperion spent years trying to deny. Both did horrendous damage to the platform. I reckon from just ANN posters alone that lost OS4 9 out of 10 potential users.
