I sent Amiga, Inc. and Fleecy Moss an open letter in response to his statements on AmigaWorld.net and in Total Amiga Magazine about the hardware market restrictions imposed on AmigaOS. You can read it here.

Open letter to Fleecy Moss and Amiga, Inc. : Comment 37 of 83 | ANN.lu |
Posted by MarkTime on 18-Mar-2003 20:07 GMT | In reply to Comment 33 (Anonymous): From Anonymous Coward:
>>And when you're done with that go petition Apple, SGI and SUN please.
SUN did release Solaris 9 for Intel, after a long and protracted discussions with their user community.
I assume your example was meant to belittle community involvement, but in 3 three companies you chose as examples, one of them did exactly what you are suggesting is impossible....released their OS for commodity Intel hardware, even though their main target is Sparc, and though they originally planned not to release Solaris 9 to that market.
Apple is less open to such demands, but they did release Darwin as open source....
and the main thing, is Apple has at least understood, recently that they have to compete on price, and have lowered their prices to be more competitive....
But apple is a different beast...apple makes their own computers..Amiga, Inc. doesn't....so this is the most baffling strategy of all, to both be software only and to not be platform agnostic is strange. |
