RC5-72 contest, AOS4 could catch MOS : Comment 14 of 110 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Johan Rönnblom on 11-Sep-2004 19:57 GMT | In reply to Comment 12 (Amon_Re): Sorry, but this would mean that MorphOS and OS4 are actually one and
the same platform. MorphOS really has more in common with
powerup.library, than OS4 has in common with either PowerUP or WarpUP.
To the best of my knowledge, OS4 does not run any PowerPC/AmigaOS
programs, while MorphOS runs both PowerUP and WarpUP programs. And
Hyperion have told that PowerUP support will be easier to do for OS4,
than WarpUP support.
Alternatively, it would mean that most of the keys crunched by the
"AmigaOS" platform are in fact not crunched by the AmigaOS platform at
all (that is, if you define "AmigaOS" as "the name", rather than
PowerUP or MorphOS). Which would be a little weird.
Well, of course it doesn't matter much in any OS4 vs MOS "battle", as
the MOS team is already more than 3 times further ahead. Even if OS4
altivec would be released before MOS altivec (MOS altivec has existed
longer of course, we'll just have to wait and see which is released
first) I strongly doubt OS4 could catch up. But I would have thought
that OS4 people at least wanted their own platform, which doesn't
start out with a base where most work is done by the "opponent". |
