Next Pegasos production sold out : Comment 41 of 280 | ANN.lu |
Posted by cOrpse on 07-Jun-2002 23:59 GMT | In reply to Comment 31 (Rob): " HARD FACTS.... "
Maybe that should have been hard facts in my mind , it'd stop alot of the flamewar thats sure to follow
"Hyperion don't have a problem with porting OS4 to Pegasos."
Yep
"Amiga Inc don't have a problem with OS4 on Pegasos."
correct
"Amiga Inc do have a problem with MorphOS as a commercial application
on any hardware, It infringes their copyright."
Not so sure , you have to remember that mos almost became aos , altho if amiga inc can prove it , it does infring their copyright ; not saying it does , but its a possibility isn't it , and before people start going off on one big prove it shouting flame war , its a *possibility* just like its possible they make green custard.
"The Amiga Inc OS4 dongle does not prevent other legal OS's from
running."
Exactly , the dongle doesn't limit the hardware , it limits cheap skates that wan t to run dodgy versions of os 4 , gotta dongle , run os 4 , no dongle no chance whatever hardware your trying.
"BPlan and the MorphOS team are basically the same people who were at
Phase5, 5 years ago."
I did used to think so , but its more like bplan and mos were the real workers at phase 5 e.g. the ones that designed and produced stuff. The ones that screwed people over were the management. Altho i do feel really pissed off about it all , wasted years of my life trying to kill the ppc.lib , trying to get cgx working , you have to ask yourself "was it all worth it" if it was good :) , if it wasn't maybe its time just to do something else instead.
"If anyone cares to remember Phase5 were never happy about WarpOS
running on their hardware."
Yeah we bloody screamed for a decent flash rom , but no luck , you can't really expect people to give in and say that theirs sucked and yours is better tho , its human nature to defend your own.
"WarpOS was very Amiga like.
PowerUP was very Unix like."
It goes more like this , "powerup was a f**king arse for a few reasons , so was warpos , but it kinda worked and got away with it and thats what matters"
"Phase5 wanted to develope a Unix like OS (cue MorphOS)."
IIRC Phase 5 wanted a ppc os and commodore were sitting on their hands while the magement didn't ;(. Every os has unix like roots , IMHO amigaOS is very unix like , its the interface that pulls it apart, morphos being originally really a amiga replacement os inhirated some of these qualities , but their again *we* haven't seen it running its own interface , only time will tell.
"OS4 is a real Amiga OS."
Its based on the original amigaos sources , so that could be said to be true . Personnaly os 4 is my choice becuase its something i know and have a unknown reason to prefer.
"MY OPPINION....
Bplan should stick to making hardware not OS's."
yeah but that would kinda kill off their *bigger picture* that gets ignored by everyone , its not just about the few amiga users that are left.
"QUESTON....
By the way how many of you Blizzard and Cyberstorm owners out there
don't use WarpOS."
ppc.lib kinda sucked , mos kinda sucks IMHO now , but only time will tell , maybe if phase 5 didn't bite the electronic big one it would have got better , and maybe mos will get better , who knows.
Damn i feel like i'm batting for the wrong side , Btw. I love amigaos nananan hehe :) |
