100 reasons to boycott Amiga : Comment 15 of 72 | ANN.lu |
Posted by darklite on 19-Mar-2002 07:06 GMT | Most of that list is silly of course, so I narrowed it down to the facts:
5. Amiga is not Amiga anymore.
7. AmigaAnywhere runs on Microsoft-products.
9. Their SDA is too restrictive. They need to check your apps work before you can sell them thru them.
11. They are only focusing on that AmigaDE mumbo jumbo.
13. Future OSes will run on virtually anything and not on hardware from the 80's with expensive add-ons/accelerators by obscure east-european companies.
18. Amiga is just a TAO reseller.
19. Morphos is much cooler. And they are showing progress.
20. Amiga owns/licenses it's copyrights and software. That's boring.
--- and expensive for those who want to invest in the classic Amiga market
21. Intent is just an emulation.
25. Everytime Tao makes a deal with someone, Amiga thinks they've made it.
27. AmigaDE's releasedate has been Soon for 1.5 year.
28. I haven't got my SDK1.1 update as I was promised.
29. I'm not getting my $xxx off when buying Amigaone since I bought the PartyPack.
34. PPC sucks. They're Macs.
--- PPC doesn't suck, it's just more sensible to use the cheaper, more available x86
44. I'm sick and tired of waiting.
45. Windows isn't that bad anyway.
53. I'm not interested in PDAs, cellphones and STBs. Noone buys them anyway.
55. Amiga charges money for their products.
--- IMHO makes it hard to launch a new technology these days
56. They're just using the name. Amiga is a very strong brandname in the world. EVERYBODY knows it. |
