Interview with Ben Hermans from Hyperion : Comment 144 of 194 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Brecht on 08-Nov-2001 19:08 GMT | In reply to Comment 142 (Christophe Decanini): >Today you could say that anyone can run MACOS on their PPC Amiga. But it is not as easy as running Windows on a PC:
>It is expensive
Amithlon is expensive too, plus it takes some skill to set up a multi-booting system.
>It lacks a lot of feature comparing to a real mac.
Like? The gay case perhaps? :)
>It does not run OSX
Why wouldn't a PPC Mac emu run OSX?
>Customers like to speak about their config. You immediately know what kind of Amiga they have depending on their orders.
Orders? Like online ordering?
>>>Smells like communism. Why not let people use what they want to use? If there
>>Smells like choices in life: for example if you want windows you have to buy X86.
>>That would be a good argument if Windows wasn't the most widely used OS, and AmigaOS was.
>Is this fascism ? Only one race of OS ?
I don't quite follow you here ("only one race of OS")?
>This is not the point. The point is that you bought a PC and you think the PC should do everything. This is not a lack of liberty if you can not run AmigaOS 4.0 on a PC. It makes sense to run AmigaOS on an Amiga.
Some of us just like the idea of being able to use several OS's on one machine. Sure, it makes sense to run AmigaOS on an Amiga, but it's not very sensible to *only* have AmigaOS for Amiga hardware at this moment.
>Only prove my point that too be successfull you need a good hardware base. The hardware on Amiga is now too much outdated. This could change with an affordable AmigaOne / Pegasos.
The hardware might be good, but the price isn't right, and it will not attract new users.
>Phase 5 legacy went to DCE and Phase 5 engineers went into Bplan. They are two companies that are big for the Amiga future.
Still, Phase5 went bankrupt. It's sad to see manufacturers take pre-orders for every peice of hardware, that may or not make it to the 'shelves' of mail-order dealers.
I appreciate all the hard work they have done/do, but I simply don't believe in a future if we stick to PPC.
>This is about business not charity. I prefer to pay for Amiga development than to pay for windows drivers and new x86 dev. I don't pay just for the sake of paying: I'am using the products and I enjoy it.
Same goes for x86, except that there is possibility to growth. |
