Interview with Ben Hermans from Hyperion : Comment 123 of 194 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Kay Are Ulvestad on 08-Nov-2001 16:24 GMT | In reply to Comment 120 (Steve Brightman): >Just an opinion, but I think you're wrong here.
-
Fair enough, polite and reasoned disagreement is a refreshing change in here...
-
>Yes I would. I'm much happier working in an Amiga environment. I have the PC and Amiga side by side, but only use Winbloze when I HAVE to.
-
Well, this is true for a lot of us, of course. However, would I have bought Shogo for Amiga if I had a Windows machine, or Windows on the same machine as my Amiga? Maybe, but probably not. In some cases, people would buy Amiga software, but I still think that the net result would be that more of us bought the Windows versions/equivalents. Of course there is the ideal situation that a larger userbase could make up for the extra competition...but I don't think that will happen.

>Put Amiga side by side with winbloze on the same hardware and let the best OS
>win. Let the masses experience Amiga "risk free", I'm pretty confident I know
>what they'll choose.
-
Well, that would be nice, but my faith in the masses is not too strong...
-
>Maybe you do serve a "protected" market for a while on some customised hardware,
>but if you want sales success you're going to have to meet winbloze head on,
>on the same hardware.
-
Well, I think we need to strengthen software development before we face Windows
head on. That's why I hope the AmigaONE can attract some ex-Amigans and geeks back
to the platform.
-
>BTW, I have no axe to grind, I don't care what's under the hood, I'm an Amiga User.
-
:-) No problem, I respect your opinion, and agree with your ideals.
