Okay, so now everyone has got his/her very own opinion about all the mess occuring in the Amiga community nowadays (AmigaOS4 vs MorphOS1, AmigaInc/Eyetech/Hyperion vs Thendic/bplan, Bernie vs Harald/H&P, hackers/users/developers/dealers vs Elbox... urgh... who'll be the next??). Every fscking single day there's a new reason that tend to split us all, in a sort of all-against-all war ("I'm on a mission/I made my decision/To lead a path of self destruction" just like the Green Day sung... why can't everyone sit down, relax, bury the hatchet and try to be more constructive, d'oh).
But what if I don't wanna join the rat race? Yeh, I'm very happy with my good ol' hw (Blizz/Cyber+PPC/Vision) and I only wanna update my sw. So, when/where will I be able to buy the new AmigaOS and/or MorphOS and how much will they cost?
When will an official list of features be made available and definitive so that I can choose which one fits my needs the most?

All the name calling coming from Thendic,Hyperion,Eyetech,Elbox etc. Has fueled the fire to such standards it no longer can be contained because 90% of the community has some sort of an opinion of who is right and who is the 'traitor'/liar. That is exactly why I blame the companies involved for all of this. I don't care if the parties involved clim they are just protecting the image of their company by attacking the other with personal insults and surprise, surprise, commercial breaks pro their own products in between their public rantings, because that is just an utter excuse for trying to convert as many people from the other or undecided camp to their own.
Surprisingly Amiga Inc. have been the least noisiest one lately and in that sense I find myself even giving them some sort of credit for it.
To all the conpanies on the market: Put up! Shut up! And FINALLY deliver what you all have been touting for and let the user decide the way to go! |
