[News] ArsTechnica mentions Amiga | ANN.lu |

Ars Technica links to the IBM developerWorks interview and adds very favourable comments. Hannibal of Ars Technica compares Amiga's platform-independent binaries concept to Linux's source code level portability, and seems to prefer Amiga's concept. If Amiga can really deliver on all they're promising, then I think that this piecemeal porting model might represent a superior way to do things.

I'm just waiting for my developer box so I can take a look at the SDK first-hand. I'm absolutely itching :-)

ArsTechnica mentions Amiga : Comment 2 of 3 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Joe "Floid" Kanowitz on 04-Aug-2000 22:00 GMT | The interview just hit Slashdot, if you haven't noticed. Pretty favorable response, although it almost seems like only Amigans are reading at this point.
The posted news article was quite optimistic. Someone did dare to call them out on the 'invented the video-game market' issue, but it's way down in the comments so the average Slashdot reader will continue chewing his cud unaware :)
I've been pondering MS's misguided .NET strategy (which, it's become obvious, is the marketing hacks saying, "Let's rename all our products to .NET so we look innovative!") for the past few days. While the .NET buzz is too vague to define in any meaningful way, it looks like Amiga will have some excellent timing here. We all remember watching Amigas do 'multimedia' before anyone was bouncing the word around; looks like the New Amiga might come out right when everyone is shouting "Crossplatform! Communication! Productivity!" ...and Amiga is going to have the biggest bragging rights, with Symbian and QNX close behind. (Good news for me, as a fan of all of them.) |
