>Yeah, and I can run more Amiga software on my WindowsXP machine then on any

>what Microsoft is doing or the latest WinXP app?
Lets go over this once more:
Firstly, you are free to discuss UAE here if you have news, rumours and comments concerning it. UAE runs on Windows XP. UAE is Amiga and ANN related, I'm sure. Windows XP, on the other hand, is not.
Given this same logic, you are free to discuss MorphOS here, since a) it is Amiga compatible (like UAE basically, even if in a different way) b) it has an AmigaOS API which makes it Amiga-like much like Linux is UNIX-like even in lower levels (in fact, I believe MorphOS and AROS to be "*miga" just like Solaris, Linux and NetBSD are "*nix" - good analogy in my opinion) c) it has a version that runs on Amigas d) last and least (for this argument at least) it was made by people who are known amigans that have contributed a lot to this community.
But most importantly, you are free to discuss MorphOS here since the site owner, Christian Kemp, has decided that ANN covers MorphOS. I myself very much agree with Christian's opinion.
Amiga Inc. bought the IP and the trademark, not the community. |
