It's easier for most rational people to ignore an OS that doesn't exist and, based on the track records of the companies involved never will exist than to ignore an OS that not only exists and has existed for a while but is rapidly becoming the platform for all recent 'Amiga' software.
Oh shit, sorry, I just realised I was replying to Amifan.
Forget the "rational" stuff.
In fact Amifan, if you read this just pretend it said something about Fleecy Moss being The One True God and being on the verge of saving the world from heretic sinners.
I can't be bothered to argue with someone whose opinion is so utterly based on nonsense.

There is a big difference: AInc. has the original source-codes. (And the rights, BTW.) Of course, AOS4.x will also be translated in steps.

OK, I know little about MOS, but it makes sense to think adapting to f.ex. MP needs some modifications (messaging system, which was not MP-compliant in the past, etc.).

Uh...www.haage-partner.com www.hyperion-software.com ?
And about www.moprhos.de? Did I say shareware?? You mean like a free-time hobby browser like voyager? Who's using that?

*Duh* Step one create a 68K emulation and you're there to run the old applications....
Step 2: port the most important parts of amigaOS to PPC. like EXEC etc. And force the old programs to use this one instead.
Step 3 start porting all other components of the OS to PPC.....
Ofcourse there are some issues to be resolved, but backwards compatibility is one of the main goals ofcourse......

*Duh* indeed.
Of your 3-step plan, MorphOS has already completed steps 1 and 2, and is well down the road on step 3.
(All the important parts of the OS are already PPC-native, which the rest catching up rather quickly).
AmigaOS4, on the other hand, is barely at stage 1...

to David Gerber:
Yes, MorphOS has some software support, MotionStudio for example looks
really interesting and is exactly the kind of app that can push a
platform. But my question is: What is it those people who are bashing
MorphOS are trying to achieve? If they are really "successful" they
might convince one or two developers to port their apps to AOS4, and
in the process they'd probably persuade many more developers to cancel
development altogether or switch to windows, linux etc. On the other
hand, if they just leave MorphOS alone, and AOS4 actually turns out to
be worthwhile, they'd probably have a much greater chance to get
software ported to it. MorphOS has some promising software coming up,
but it's hardly enough to make it a worthwhile target.

Hi
1) Forgive me but MorphOS developers like David Gerber and Nicholai B. shouldn't argue too much with users. I know that you are defending your work and choice. But bashing AmigaOS 4 is only harming MorphOS...Please let the user decide..Most Amiga users are intelligent enough to choose the right way.
Amiga users have learned to live with WarpUP , PowerUP, they will surely learn to live with MorphOS and AmigaOS...
1) Maybe MorphOS team can concentrate on making MorphOS compatible with Macintosh hardware as well as BPlan Pegasos (like iBook, iMac, G4Cube e.t.c). Thus MorphOS team can find a new fresh market for their OS. I guess supporting Mac hardware will be easier once MorphOS runs on Pegasos hardware late summer 2001.
3) Btw Ralph Schimdt was in talks with Fleecy , any progress on that?
Thanks

Ehm, which browser was announced for AmigaOS4? IBrowse is dead. And I
haven't heard anything about a PPC version of AWeb... So what is the
AmigaOS4 browser? Mozilla? lol.
But I think you will be happy with using lynx because you also use
AmigaWriter to edit your startup-sequence and don't need a small,
good, simple text editor...
BTW: You know that some of Hyperion's games were licensed with
support from Titan Computer? Hmm, and what did they say about MorphOS
support in future software projects...? :)

In reply to Comment 59 (David Scheibler):
Titan also publishes Hyperion Software`s Linux/Mac ports...So I guess there are no
problems with Hyperion supporting AmigaOS4.0 and Titan publishing the games..

In reply to Comment 61 (Sinan Gurkan):
No, I didn't mean that Titan won't publish Hyperion's games for OS4 in
the future. But there are maybe some (little) chances that two(?) of
the licensed games will also be available as a MorphOS native port.

According to Hyperion staff, they have to license all games once more for a MorphOS port..They can only release games for AmigaOS4..

In reply to Comment 63 (Sinan Gurkan):
Hopefully they'll consider it if/when they license some other game
though. I guess it shouldn't be much of a problem to get the MorphOS
license without any extra costs.

browsers... All Amiga browsers run on Amiga OS4.0, so what is the problem?
