| Interview with Ben Hermans from Hyperion : Comment 187 of 194 | ANN.lu |
| Posted by José on 09-Nov-2001 14:45 GMT | In reply to Comment 186 (Richie):
Well, I think you have no base to justify those coments. Those companies actually worket together to develop PPC. There is no monopoly in PPC as far as I know. Please stop nonsense coments to satisfy your obcessions.
Actually SGI droped their processors and are willing to use future PPCs (G5). I don't remember well if this is a rumour but I think it wasn't. PPC also has a play in the embedded market. ....etc.
I think the conclusion to be made is that there is a risk. A risk that is not worth taking, at least now. MANY of the arguments that are used in favour of x86 could be used against it, and vice versa for PPC. But has there ever been any company that was able to penetrate the x86 OS market??! Isnt' that fisical prof that the risk is hight?! So what x86 gives us more users. x86 users won't buy Amiga software, simply because Windows software is in general more developed and featured (and more slow and buggy as you know). Also even if there is Amiga sofware that would be better, the marketting power Windows has doesn't give Amiga a chance. Hasn't there been enouph evidence that it's not the best solution that wins !?. Now you ask, in what does PPC changes this?. Well, I think there are still ancient users that would come to the platform. It's nonsense, because they'd have their chosen software in x86 hardware I know. But that's just how it is. And would these users buy Amiga software if to their x86 machine? NO! Sorry, but I don't think all this is based on just logic.
But it has it's logic. Many just sympathise with the Amiga. I would be happy to have my Amiga machine, with it's own hardware. Also some users just like something different. There are always people that would buy it, even it just for the hardware (G5 will kick ass given the tests).
Just my support for the non x86 theory.
