Interview with Ben Hermans from Hyperion : Comment 4 of 194 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Brecht [darklite] on 07-Nov-2001 20:52 GMT | In reply to Comment 3 (Christophe Decanini): >New OS on new hardware platform with new innovative applications (at an affordable price).
That combination is impossible. Either it's mainstream and cheap or it's PPC/new and it's expensive.
>A valid point from Hyperion is that it can not succeed on X86 where you have already all kind of applications.
Ok, we have been over this a kazillion times x2, but I'll list some of the arguments:
1) most Amiga users already own/use a Windows PC. (Christian: poll please? :)
2) There are also other OS's available on PPC: Linux, BSD, MacOS (partial emulation).
3) New PPC CPU's can emulate PC's at full speed, so basically, PPC will also run Windows. |
