comp.sys.amiga.morphos newsgroup to be established? : Comment 26 of 63 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Bill Hoggett on 16-Dec-2001 20:41 GMT | In reply to Comment 25 (Alkis Tsapanidis): First, this is a non-issue. No one has suggested the creation of an comp.sys.amiga.amithlon group, nor is Amithlon an operating system.
As for it being too late for x86? Maybe, but if that is the case IMO it is too late for anything Amiga related to succeed, be it AmigaOS 4.x+ or MorphOS. You may not want to believe it, but a large percentage of people are sick of buying expensive customised low-availability hardware, which is what both the AmigaOne and Pegasos boards will end up being.
This is not relevant here. The only question here is this: Is MorphOS the next official AmigaOS, and will MorphOS be guaranteed to run all future AmigaOS applications. Also, will all future Amiga approved systems, like the AmigaOne, be able to run MorphOS.
If the answer to any of those questions is "no", then MorphOS is an operating system apart, with some compatibility with AmigaOS built in.
As I've said, MorphOS is a good product - even if I don't believe PPC systems have any chance of commercial success - but it is NOT AmigaOS. If Ralph or anyone else wants to claim the Amiga label, they must come up with enough money to buy it. If it isn't worth the price, stop claiming it anyway. |
