Amiga Inc. Plans to Shutdown Illegal Uses of Amiga IP : Comment 142 of 172 | ANN.lu |

Adding additional functionality is hardly bastardising it. MS Java runs everything Sun Java does, it is up to the programmer as to whether he uses the MS extras.

I won't defend them there.

No, all MorphOS does is look the same, feel the same (and we all know Apple lost on those two points), it does not use reverse engineered AmigaOS code (anyone claiming it does is just spreading speculative FUD), and without emulation it does not run classic AmigaOS executable code anyway.
MorphOS, IMO, is/was the best chance to get the Amiga up to date and on to new hardware. AInc have chosen to be greedy, and now that they see they can't compete with MorphOS (because MorphOS just has too much of a head start), they prefer to play the "waa, that's not fair" game and try and sue them. |
