Possible Middleware partnerships for Sega Orbi.

There new reports as well as fairly solid evidence that SEGA is in the process of licensing Middleware software GUI,GNU and OS patches for the first time since NAOMI/Dreamcast.

On the ORBI trademarkia link, several photos popped up that lead to Middleware companies being involved with SEGA. As you all know, Dreamcast used GLBasic for GUI and Middleware basic coding with C Language. Inside of the Orbi trademarkia (http://www.trademarkia.com/orbi-85517210.html), the links and images to these lead to these Middleware companies:


"Orbit Software" http://orbitsw.com/ 

Which is a Austin,TX based group that develops Anti-Piracy GUI's and Binary IIRC Codes.

"Gnome, Inc" http://www.gnome.org/ 

A Mexico City GNU development company.

When I looked at the Mysterious ORBIT logo, this popped up:

http://orbit-resource.sourceforge.net/

So in that thesis, I discovered that ORBIT is actually a C Language Patch for coding games and media on "Home Consumer" I said Home Consumer Only electronics! I also discovered that "Gnome's" GNU is owned by Novell Software Inc, which could explain the patent SEGA-TUDE found!

Also remember everyone, C Language is only used by SEGA for home console hardware, not arcade, Why the hell would Sega Orbi be looking to license C Language software again for the first time in 15 years?!

The indications of the console being called "SEGA Orbit" is still there. The logo can BE used, since the name is untrademarked and obscure. The name is probably both a reference to Saturn and a tip of a hat to Gnome's C Language design.
