Letting the World Know : Comment 164 of 216 | ANN.lu |

While I think that you're correct in your observations about AmigaOS, I also think that your post misses the point somewhat.
Let's not fool ourselves: AmigaOS is a hobby OS. This may change later on (possibly) but right now I see it as an OS for recreational use.
AmigaOS is not designed (or intended I'd say) for use in a high availability data centre or for use in a corporate desktop. It's for having fun with.
...And I've got no problem with that.
AmigaOS feels like nothing else and frankly I couldn't give a rat's arse if it doesn't have "Power management, Hotplug and Authentication" etc.
AmigaOS does what it says on the tin, or as Amiga Inc say : "..the Amiga is alive, well and ready to let the World have fun with computing again."
And as far as I'm concerned it's all good :-)
Amiga, back for the future...
Cheers,
Alex. |
