Actually, what he's saying is that Hyperion and Genesi think Windows and Linux both offer better software platforms that AmigaOS and MorphOS, so users who would have the option would not choose AmigaOS or MorphOS software. And of course, in this respect at least he is completely right: both Windows and Linux offer better software catalogues than AmigaOS or MorphOS, and this will remain the case for the forseeable future. Numbers of developers and resources dedicated to them make it inevitable.

> Otherwise, since the true value is in the software why would Hyperion

Hyperion rely on porting old games to niche platforms, and Genesi have PPC hardware they need to sell. Both those crucial core aspects of their businesses would be hit if AmigaOS and MorphOS were available on the same cheap off-the-shelf hardware that Windows (and Windows software, including games) could run on.

> Gutsy statement pal. Too bad you're posting anonymously.

What difference does it make? He's telling the truth, and what were you going to him if you did know his name, go and smash his face in? Sheesh.

The choice of PPC is in order to create an isolated artificial niche market. Nothing else. Articles like the one in this thread are a pile of misinformation designed to confirm to the converted that they have made the right choice and the extra money they will have to spend is all worth it. One day people will learn to promote their products by telling the truth and highlighting their own qualities rather than telling lies about rival products. We will have to wait a bit longer for that day it seems.
