Interview with Ben Hermans from Hyperion : Comment 92 of 194 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Christophe Decanini on 08-Nov-2001 14:11 GMT | Just to say that:
Most of Amiga developers, dealers agree that going to x86 for AmigaOS 4.0 on custom (I mean not Apple) PPC hardware.
If AmigaOS goes x86 I can close my Amiga shop and won't distribute Amiga software. I can not compete selling PCs, These last 4 years we saw plenty of PC shops opening and closing in our street. This is because they can not compete with big PC shops that import directly masses of PCs from asia.
If we sell PPC harware we can live and promote Amiga software and even take part in some software development investment.
I understand that all of those wo bought a PC does not like these statements but this is the reality.
This is the ONLY subject where you will have Hyperion, H&P, ELBOX, Titan, Morphos, Bplan, ... and all company still doing Amiga hardware/software agree.
AmigaDE or something similar is surely the way to go multiplatform (and find better price / performance hardware than x86 ;) ) but it is not ready as a desktop OS right now. |
