Pegasos II vs AmigaOne

[IonDeluxe]

Peg II against AmigaOne
Hmm I guess peg II is ok, it has software by virtue of freeloading from the origonal base Amiga software, and some "native" applications.

Genesi is more professional if you count stooping to any method to discredit you opposition as "professional"
Morphos is still in beta state, has been for some time and will likely be for quite some time more.

Amiga on the other hand is being orchestrated by Amiga Inc whos business dealings are as yet dubious,. but are supported by two other comapanies with very good reputations that seem to have contacts and support of some rather impressive people. The OS is unavailable as yet except to beta testers, and soon the early bird purchasers.

Bottom line here is, if you really want to purchase an Amiga, go for the Aone, if you dont give a stuff but just want to run your old software and want to go PPC then the pegasos will probably fit your bill better....for now.

There really is not a great difference in the hardware, or the software at this point, so there is no real requirement for comparison as niether system is ready as a commercial product/OS combination as yet.

I really dont give a rats ass if they take advantage of old software or not, look at linux and windows. I think thats great. What I dont like is the image they promote as "supporting the Amiga community" when in fact what they are doing is hijacking that said community to support themselves in direct competition to the real amiga solution.
Even Linux has more integrity than that.
I am purely sick of the lies and other rubbish spouted by Genesi that is completely ans utterly forgiven by the blue crowd, not to mention completely ignored forgotten and swept under the carpet! It just promotes more of the same behavior.
Same goes for the coupon debacle with the red crowd and the general level of behaviour all round.

There is a sevre lack of integrity with the companies and organizeation related to this community( with a couple exceptions), and the only way this is gunna change is if we the community pull them up and take them to task over it.

Now if you want to relegate my opinon to the lvl of "sour grapes" without any concrete argument to back it up then be my guest, I am quite used to even the moderators of this site not adhering to thier own rules and further fomenting discontent to let such a thing get under my skin.

In any case, this entire topic is little more than barely vieled flamebait as as I have said, any such comparisons are premature as niether solution is yet in the state of a commercially complete hardware/os product at this stage.

@rayt

That may be what they say there, however it is at odds greatly with how BBRV has conducted himself on this site, and others.

@bloodline
Genesi was never part of this community, they were competing with this community trying to draw off users to thier own community.Now that they have done that about as much as they are able they are off on thier merry way.In fact your very attitude evidenced by your derogitive "BAF" shows just how effective that campaign has been.

@Darthx

You are right, AmigaInc did just exactly this with their AmigaDe project, where they partnered with Microsoft.

Oh wait.. were you refering to Genesi here?

Yes I was referring to Genesi, the Amiga DE deal with MS was new product being sold under DE for MS...not really the same thing. Its kinda hard to hijack your own software base anyway

I'm not sure what lies/rubbish from Genesi that you are refering to?

Well the glaring one is Gary Hare for CEO, but the list is pretty exhaustive dating back some two years ago.Another one is: "we support the community and want OS4 on pegasos" When in actual fact they will do nothing to get OS4 on pegasos and expect AmigaInc\Hyperion to port it for them whilst also thumbing thier nose at the requirements for OS4 on thier machine.
The bottom line here is that the community division would have resolved itself simply by licensing the pegasos which they have had plenty of time to do.

Now there is also plenty on the Amiga Inc side to go on about(coupons changing plans, paychecks not being delivered), and there is alot behind the companies involved, the history of event since the demise of commodorre that also needs to be taken into account, but that is for another thread and another time.

I cant wait for OS4 to hit commercial release because then not only will we have a comparison to draw upon, but also 90% of the lies FUD, and whathaveyou will HAVE to be resolved, and maybe, just maybe we can get past the slanging match that has been going on for the past 2 years

Thankyou for your comments
