Thendic-Amiga Court Case - Latest Motions : Comment 153 of 216 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Amon_Re on 05-Mar-2004 12:51 GMT | In reply to Comment 150 (Metamiwoo): 1) BBRV *will not* get those sources tho, atmost he might get a port of AOS4, and he'll need to pay for that.
- But if we can have Amiga OS 4 on Pegasos, don't you think that AmigaOne will die ?
I don't see why it would, it would open up Eyetech to some direct competition, yes, but that doesn't mean it'll just go up in smoke, Eyetech might reduce it's prices, or come up with another A1 board that has things the Pegasos 2 lacks and vice versa
2) 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
- As I said, I don't know anything about MorphOS but I can't really see how the two OS could co-exist as REAL OS. OK, we could have two geeks OS like OpenBe, QNX... but that's not what we all want for Amiga, do we ? I thought AmigaOS has always had the purpose to be "mainstream" (as "mainstream" I don't mean with millions copies but with real applications in every areas like Windows or MacOS) and not to be on a "niche" market.
Do you consider Linux as mainstream? I personally do, do i consider AOS/MOS as mainstream? Nope, nor do i consider them any serious contentents for a big market, aslong as we don't have office apps & new browsers AOS/MOS will remain hobby OSes.
I don't see how a merger between them would change that
3) 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"
- His position about AmigaOS has always been strange : I never understood why he didn't want to licence it for its Pegasos (even if the Amiga inc. contract was dishonest, it would have strongly increased the Pegasos sales)
As far as i know he wanted Hyperion to port at at their own expense, without obtaining a licence, perhaps the deal with Ainc wasn't fair, i don't know, i don't even know if he actually ever asked Ainc for that matter.
