New Poll: Do you want OS4 on Pegasos

[Kronos]

@ikir
100% aggreed !

I have said it long ago, and now I will do it again:

Holding the finger into AInc&Hype's faces over the
licence-issue was the smartest thing Genesi could do.


And for those whining "but there are only 600
Peg-owners, I also got something to say:

What does a "new" plattform need to succed ?

Zealots who take the Amiga as a religion (literally) ?

Or enthausatic bedroom-coders ?

No I don't think that all A1-owners are like that,
but a great portion of the vocal part IS.

And there are atleast 100 bedroom-coders who own a Peg.

Also have a look at the current RAM-prices, and you will
find out SDR allready costs more than DDR and it ain't
hard to guess how it will look in 1 or 2 years, when
(if) OS4/MOS have evolved enough to become more "mainstream".

Selling a SDR-based mobo in 2002 was hard, in 2003 it
needs fanatics, and in 2004 it will be a joke.

So what option will Hyperion have to get their OS
on a really modern HW ?

TeronXX ? Forget it, MAI haven't even finished
the Sa-design, how long till the P will be really
ready for mass-production (if ever) ?

Apple ? Yeah, sure nice HW, but also 100% not cooperative.

Peg2 ? Oh no no no, they are evil, evil, evil ....  :-P

I also don't see why anybody should licence OS4 for
an STB or similar, as these costumers either won't
a full package (HW+SW) or full controll over the OS.

So :

Useless poll  ;-)

The only accurate poll on this would need to
be held on the Beta2-mailinglist .....

@yssing

Only because one extreme causes problems (really ??)
ain't enough proove that going the other extreme will
be a good idea.

One of the major reasons for the death of Amiga
was and is that there were no companies to produce
new Amigas, after C= (and later Escom) collapsed.

So who would build/sell HW for OS4.x if something
goes wrong with either MAI or Eyetech ?

@Warface

Actually the other way round:
The Peg is the only one that would have been "Zico" ....
