Professor Fulvio Peruggi illustrious member of Amiga community here in Naples, Italy, wrote a huuuuge review on his new "little monster" Pegasos II G4 machine, regarding what means amiga philosophy, usage of Pegasos, compatibility of programs, productivity, multimedia, office applications, Mac emulation and much, much more. You can find it here (A very omnicomprensive review). News taken from morphozone.org. Also, you can add comments and suggestions regarding this review on the morphzone site.

More... The entire review will be available into italian language also (these are very good news) next week on Miky'060 site: www.pegasos-italia.com.

Enjoy it.

In reply to Comment 2 (Raffaele):
I feel offended by the patronizing comments about us that do not invent philosophical rules of living out of the Amiga product label and defines the term out of a purely objective point of view. If anything would be putting some form of "sacred" value into the brand, then it is the idea that the Amiga would be something else or more than just a label for a specific computer product line or spanish for a female friend.

But don't worry, I won't break anyone's door in over it. I'm merely suggesting that perhaps this "review" could be less offensive and remain focused on the Pegasos and MorphOS instead. People from outside this community won't understand much of the "Amiga-like-ness" ramblings anyway and I think it would better if the author would let the Pegasos and MorphOS stand on it's own two legs for a change.

I think maybe his point is more that you cannot read a review of MorphOS with it being compared/called 'Amiga' or 'Amiga Like'.

I understand it can run old Amiga OS 3.9 apps, but my Amiga setup can run old 68k Mac Apps and you don't see every review of Amiga OS being called 'Amiga Like'.

I think what Sammy means is that it might be nice to at some point see MorphOS reviews praising MorphOS for being 'MorphOS Like' and not 'Linux, Mac, Amiga or whatever like'. It would be nice if it could one day not be in the shadow of Amiga OS and just be it's own unique self.

It sort of like gowing up always being called so and so's little brother. At some point you don't want to be known as someones little brother, but be known for who and what you are. Make sense? Of course, everything I write makes sense! :)

Sammy sammy, in your race for objectivity you always fail to realize that whilst it makes sense, it's objectively understandable becoming attached to ways of doing and ways of living things, it's objectively stupid to be attached to a name, whatever that name is referred to.

You see, the former is the way every sane person behaves: it's pretty normal to have habits and recognize common patterns in tbings (this so called "phylosophy" you so much hate talking about). However, it's not as normal being tied to a name which you yourself define "just a name" of a brand or a spanish word.

No no no, ... I can't agree less with that statement. I think it evades from
reality and reveals this senseless hatred towards MorphOS that self-describing
Amiga supporters have invented. MorphOS was conceived, designed and programmed
as the true continuation of AmigaOS. Back then there was no prospect of AmigaOS4
or things like that. MorphOS was then praised by everyone for becoming the
brave new alternative ... until AmigaOS4 entered the scene. The process that
some people experimented from puting their hopes on MorphOS to hating it
to death was so surprising and fast that I really questioned myself wether
the proverbial Amiga-user independent mindset really existed or not.

It never was there for some people, as I see now. BUT, at the same time, I
see everyday the SAME NAMES posting the SAME nonsense day after day, and I
counted quite few of them compared with those who ever used an Amiga. I
hope these few people make a final meditation and get to the same conclusion
as I : "This attitude will bring you nowhere".

The fact is there is an Amiga OS 4 now. Trying to dilude yourself and other's that MorphOS is the 'Real' AmigaOS4 is probably not going to help the future of MorphOS as it's own alternative OS. The fact is however

Regarding standing on own feet: When is [b]that MorphOS clone from Hyperion[/b] calle AOS4 going to be released anyway?... ; }

OK. Now that the above has been said, just realize that it is not to be taken TOO seriously... But it hopefully illustrates that MorphOS made its way toward supporting Amiga APIs and legacy FIRST - when it was very possible that it would either (a) become the official path for legacy Amiga apps running on PPC, or (b) the ONLY path for legacy Amiga apps running on PPC, with no other contenders around.

In spite of not experiencing the Kiss Of The Boing Balls (yech!) it was around FIRST; was being planned and coded FIRST; its crew having decided to do something that featured Amiga API on PPC... FIRST.

But having to battle an entire "community" for legitimacy for years has taken its toll on people from both sides. That is evident when reading the posts of so many people here on ANN, who just seem to have problems acting decently. It's like a war where some people on both sides seem to enjoy committing atrocities while others look on. Maybe they weren't ever very nice people to start with though.

Can't blame that on MorphOS or the Pegasos though...

The fact is that however much better MorphOS is and the fact that it was seen by some people at the time to be the succesor of Amiga OS 4, it is not Amiga OS 4.

I see MorphOS and Pegasos as the only true futre for Amiga. For me Pegasos is everything I liked to see Amiga to become after 199x and MorphOS is exactly the OS that I liked AmigaOS to become after 199x. For me Pegasos and MorphOS are the only real solution that deserves to be called Amiga.

Anyone can make an OS. Because it is first doesn't make it Amiga OS.


"But having to battle an entire "community" for legitimacy for years has taken its toll on people from both sides."

That's because you can't just choose (or force) to make MorphOS the "legitiment" successor to Amiga OS. I don't have the right, Bill Buck does not have the right, you don't have the right to choose the path (as much as we all may like too) of Amiga OS. It's not ours.

Competition is good yes. But if Microsoft went out and coded an OS built on the 'Likeness of a Mac" and then went around saying "it is a MAC" and putting the MAC logo all over their web site I'm guessing MAC user wouldn't be very happy. Then when MAC OS X 10.7 came out from Apple and Microsoft then started saying, "Hey our OS was here before MAC OS X 10.7 so we're as legitimate as Apple is!" well that is just plain stupidity.


It could have a cool name though:

Microsft Windows MAC Bastard Edition :)

Great, but you don't get to choose the future of Amiga. You can switch to a "Different" OS, that's fine. In 199x I started using Windows, it doesn't mean it's the succesor to Amiga, even though it was for me in that case.

And you don't either. The users and developers did and if you would have paid carefull attention then you would have realized that most (that's the majority) of professional remaining developers have decided for MorphOS. We have the people who brought standards such as CyberGfx, MUI, 3d stuff to the Amiga architecture. They now continue working on their petprojects on MorphOS and improve them for these architectures. Most of the intellectual property invented after Commodore went bancrupt are owned by those people working on and for MorphOS these days. What remains for AmigaOS4 is just the rest.

As you can see people are not brand driven and there is also no need to convince the hell out of them. These people have simply made a decision and are happy contributors to the NEW Amiga community. Let's call it THE FUTURE for now.

Agima: Anyone can make an OS.

Yeah, right ; }


Because it is first doesn't make it Amiga OS.

And your point is? Most of us with Pegasos could care less about the OFFICIAL thing anyway. We saw what happened with the official name. We saw who bought it and what they did(n't) do with it. We are happy to have legacy Amiga-compatible APIs... hoping to see them further extended is icing on the cake.


That's because you can't just choose (or force) to make MorphOS the "legitiment" successor to Amiga OS.

Official, schmo-ficial. That's SUPERficial. I'm certainly not hung up on having the sticker of approval. MorphOS is a working OS NOW, has been for some time; allows many of us to leverage our Amiga experience and out Amiga software. The rest is just a load of crappy history for some decade or so anyway...


I don't have the right, Bill Buck does not have the right, you don't have the right to choose the path (as much as we all may like too) of Amiga OS.

Some of you seem real hung up on something many MorphOS users could care less about. Those people just wanted to use and/or program for something AVAILABLE and somewhat familiar. some And its real tough to make a business case for caring about "the Amiga name" since there just isn't much lucre to be had under that banner for ages and ages now... And yet, with some commonality between MorphOS and AmigaOS it doesn't have to be any big deal for a developer to support both unless someone MAKES it a big deal. Which ugliness and fighting for years has almost guaranteed in the case of some, which is a loss for ALL : {


It's not ours.

That's fine. Don't need it. I think as AOS4 seems to be getting somewhat close to limited release some people have at least begun to see a glimmer of hope that they can use software on their copy of AOS4 that was actually developed on Pegasos machines and MorphOS. And if there is any justice (I wonder if there is) the reverse will also become true later on...

But for MorphOS/Pegasos developers and users I doubt the appearance of an "offical" OS makes much difference personally, because they already have been getting satisfaction and such, and will likely continue to do so.

Your comparison is apt, since MOS is "like AmigaOS....only better." The last clearly being an opinion of course!

You forgot to mention that MOS was better in any of your posts, so I though I'd add it! :-D

No-one says it is Amiga OS, that is merely it's (adopted if you will) heritage. It's described as 'Amiga like' to put it in the context of the projected audience.

Is that clearer?

Hopefully this guy makes a review of forthcoming MorphOS 1.5 aswell, he seems to have the talent. But please, someone give him a hand when it comes to HTML/graphics/colors ;-)

What competition ? There is only MorphOS and Pegasos. Competition would imply that there are two similar systems from feature and capabilities. But there aren't.

This post shows our different standpoints quite well. You don't care about intellectual properties and embrace the use of the Amiga trademark as a term for anything that complies with a certain philosophy of life rather than a specific product line, while people like me refrain from labeling the results of certain counter-productive efforts by the same term as the original effort.

Trying to force our own subjective point of views on each other is not going to work, now is it? For the sake of preventing these pointless discussions; how about sticking to purely objective terms and definitions, atleast when we're on "neutral ground" such as ANN.lu?

Actually, I was speaking of competition between products and MorphOS developers/OS4 developers, not about marketshares.

>What competition ? There is only MorphOS and Pegasos. Competition would imply that there are two similar systems from feature and capabilities. But there aren't.

Why do so many Pegasos/MorphOS supporters always have to talk about the competition instead of remaining focused on their prefered choice?

He was only saying it'd be good to see a similar review of AOS4 when it's out. You seem to have taken the mention of AOS4 the wrong way. I don't think there's any question that the focus here is definitely on MorphOS. What a great review! :-)
