NO! NO! You must join a faction! You must find a cause! You must never, ever deviate from that cause! You must accept the dogmatic ideology in it's entirety! You must not miss an opportunity to start flamewars against anything you consider being different from something in your ideological package!
:)

No it isn't. OK, in my comment I confused the pre-production boards shown in recent photos with the "developers'" boards people have ordered.

Thing is, we'll never see OS4 running on many other systems than the Ter^H^H^H Ing^H^H^H Amiga One with this bundling and "solution provider" licensing.

And they're saying "bend over and shut up" to consumers who don't give a crap if there's a "Made for Amiga" sticker on their otherwise OS4 compatible hardware. "So, you only need to buy OS4 and a ROM for your shiny PPC board? Screw you, you can't buy that! You shall buy the hardware We tell you to buy."
> 4. We arent in the free love Linux zone.
Which is another place where this conduct will be spit upon. "Gee, thanks Amiga Inc! Amiga users won't help enlarging the PPC market and increase competition, so we'll also be stuck with the few expensive options we already have." |
