Thendic-Amiga Court Case - Latest Motions : Comment 142 of 216 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Amon_Re on 05-Mar-2004 08:31 GMT | In reply to Comment 140 (Metamiwoo): I think we all (blue and red camps) could have something "positive" if genesi wins the Amiga name and the OS4 sources.
BBRV *will not* get those sources tho, atmost he might get a port of AOS4, and he'll need to pay for that.
As I don't know really anything about MorphOs, I have always been a supporter of the "name" and of Hyperion's Amiga OS 4... but we all know that our market is by far too small for two OS if we want to be competitive :
1) It can be only possible if all remaining Amiga developpers are working together and on the same API (currently they have to choose or to make two versions MorphOS and AmigaOS)
2) The last chance to unify all this is to merge the two OS : I don't know if it's technically possible (AmigaOS 4 with Ambient ?) so one of the two must die
3) We could argue the same thing for Pegasos/AmigaOne
Conclusion IMO : two OS = two Geeks OS, but one OS = hypothetical commercial OS (with applications !)
A merge between AOS/MOS is not likely to happen, and both could coexist if MOS continues to develop towards something unique, as it's stand now it's just another Amiga clone, like AROS
PS : and don't tell me that MorphOS market is not Amiga market, I don't believe it (well at the current time)
What i don't get is his (BBRV) tenacity, even in the unlikely event that he gets AOS4, it's unlikely that he'll gaain more then 100 users from this, and the current market is just to small to allow a company like Genesi to survive, developing an OS and a hardware platform, that's expensive, very expensive, and at their current prices they can't be making alot of money on them, if any.
He should be more focussed on markets *outside* of the community, and the only asset that could be of value to him for that is the name, the OS itself isn't very usefull, except perhaps for setup boxes, and even then, both AOS & MOS are lacking in that department (browsers etc)
I guess he'll go through our memories as "The man that wanted to be Amiga"
