Say who ? I thought it was already said: We do want to support the Pegasos board. It's firmly planned. Unfortunately, we haven't received a developer board yet, but if we ever get one, OS4 will run on the Pegasos.

AmigaOS 4.0 on Pegasos : Comment 376 of 510 | ANN.lu |

Uhm...when MorphOS loses the legal battle, then what's the change of the survival of the Pegasos expecially with the refusal to get an "amiga approved certificate"

It want to be the one replacement of the real thing, so it wants to be amigaOS.

Ow sure as long as this Mercedes don't advertise as being a Porsche to get Porsche drivers to buy a Mercedes.......
>AmigaInc controls their market? Well, I don't think they control me, as the >consumer. One thing is to claim to have control, another thing is to actually >CONTROL. I think it's right that they protect their name.
They control what is theirs...Amiga and AmigaOS. If any other compagny wants to enter their domein, they have to play by their rules and they will be given any space they need. But...if you don't want to play by their rules.......
>What I meant was.. Amiga is more or less dead. From a common person's point of >view.
Uhm....the platform wants to make a new start, so what's your point?
Apple was considered at the end of its life too some time ago....can I now make a computer and advertise it as having made the next apple?
>Yes.. Think so.. I call a computer by its given name. I call an operative >system by its given name. But both these two things can be related to a >context, community or similar. And that's were I usually put "amiga" in. Well, >I call my amigas (the computers) for Amiga, and the OS for AmigaOS, but that >might change with e.g Pegasos.
Well in that case I should call my Amiga a PC because its my personal computer....
>Why care about what Morphos "pretends" to be? Why not take it for what it is
>(when it's released)
A wanna be and cheap rip-off AmigaOS
>However, this leads nowhere. I'm sure we're both not 100% right. I just think >it's a shame that people (like you) cannot appreciate what's being given to >the community.
I appreciate DOpus while being eventually a workbench replacement....
I don't appreciate Operating Systems wanting to be the NEW amigaOS, and advertise it this way not to metntion discrediting the OS and the compagny in charge: AmigaInc.... |
