whatever.... but that mistep has traveled the same circle so much that its a deep trench and "doing it right" still has to work its way back out of that trench ...
Given the market changes.... the only way to deal with the overall situation is to open source the Amiga OS..... and that is NOT going to happen due to the numerious IP owners of various parts of the AmigaOS...
The reason MorphOS has any chance is that it is a free OS, though you have to buy the hardware to get it.. MorphOS is a OS default and given as an extra to buying the hardware.
More and more closed source proprietary software is carring an increasing amount of "red tape" legal issues that do infact impact the consumers freedoms...
Soooo. consumer choice is going the way of Vietnams desire to get into the WTO... They have to reduce MS software piracy....where all things considered lead them to the only forward move toward acceptance into the WTO......All machines manufactured in Vietnam have to come with Linux pre-installed..
I have no doubt there are those few (in comparison to the general public) that will believe whatever they want....but it just doesn't make it so.
FOSS simple comes with less cost, more support and less legal hassel, not to mention freedom to change or contribute.... |
