@Glaucus & bloodline
You`re both right, a note from me:
MOS & Aros were born as a solution for further development of our OS, a time that there was no hope (years stuck on 3.1 and hudrends of patches).
Then there was 3.5 and a few time later 3.9 with its BoingBags. That was shaking the waters. Now a major development on PPC with writting the OS quasi from scratch, and a new platform with a new CPU.
The situation is not the same now and then, want it or not. But there are some differences as for the market:
-AmigaOS4 has the name and it`s officialy the next thing to 3.9 ( with portability to the old CSPPC )
-The AROS is for free, you get the amiga feeling with high performance on cheap PC-hardware, and possible portability on other architectures
-MOS is for the moment pegasus-dependant, which means its success is heavyly based on the success of its hardware platform.
AmigaOS is the first, the other 2 are amiga-like OSs. The impact on the market is, as Glaucus said, split which means loss for both parts (AOS & MOS).
For AROS you don`t have to invest on new hardware (as most of the people has a PC) to get running apps or develop on it. So its future seems bright to me, because even if the Amiga or Amiga-like OS fail, AROS may continue as the solution (as was conceived on the beggining). If they succeed, then no harm it`s always independent and free to use even by the non-community members.
