AmigaPOP.8bit.co.uk is finally online!
Here you'll hopefully find all information you could possibly want about the "AmigaOS distribution policies and POP/PPC hardware petition". I hope the background information and FAQ will be especially helpful to clear up any confusion surrounding these issues.
If you have not yet signed the petition, then please do so now! Please help spreading the word by linking to AmigaPOP.8bit.co.uk. It's not too late to save our favourite OS and a unified POP-based hardware market!
In other news, I have finally managed to get in touch with the PetitionOnline.com administrators. The few abuse and sabotage attempts so far have been removed from the signatory listings. Not that any garbage would ever reach the recipient of our petition, but I understand some thought that it didn't look too good...

AmigaOS + POP/PPC petition official web site : Comment 216 of 280 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Menthos on 07-Jun-2002 11:04 GMT | In reply to Comment 211 (Tbone): Hopefully if Amiga succeds in its struggle and go all the way to OS5 there will be no problem if I remember it correct. This OS4 is just a step to that path.
But somewhere in this Amiga must think of what will be best for them and they did choose this way and I don't think that they will change it. But I can see that there are valid points on both sides of this camp.
On one side we have the quality/piracy points and on the other we have restrictions on the hardware. No restrictions could make more people buying AOS4 but may also have the opposite effect.
This is no easy questions but I think that it is good to have these discussions. Too bad that official AmigaInc. people have left (or rarely comment) these forums (except Ben, thanks for sticking!) because it would be nice to know their point of view.
But with this "community" all they get is flames when they comment...
